Life as we knew it...spontaneous camping trips and dinner dates. Life as we knew it meant sleeping in on Sundays and sharing showers. Life as we knew it allowed for Friday nights hibernating in the basement with a bottle (or two, or three) of wine. Life as we knew it meant life as we created it. Life as we knew it has become a fond memory of sleeping in, running around and living for ourselves. Life as we knew it has been replaced with a new adventure, a new chapter between Brandon and I. We welcomed our sweet baby boy on Wednesday, August 10 at 10:37pm. Months and months of waiting and preparation finally came down to one day, one moment where we welcomed Owen Tyler into the world. Now, life as we know it has replaced our selfish ways, as we live for the needs of this precious little life before us.
Brandon summed up life as we knew it quite well; "It wasn't that something was missing before, but now, everything feels complete."
I can't help the tears that well up in my eyes as I write that statement, because it is so true. We have been so blessed with seven years of creating a beautiful life together, and now it is at a whole new level. Through the creation of this little life, we are becoming selfless, as we grow as a couple, as a family, as a mommy and daddy. I am so grateful for a perfect little boy, with beautiful big eyes and a head full of dark hair, but I am also just as grateful for my partner in love and life.
