Life as Mom

I have 3 younger brothers. Each of my brothers has a unique personality, as well as a couple things they are exceptional at and passionate about. For Michael it has been skiing and motorcycles. He loves to ski, would do it daily, and he is exceptional at it. For Brady, it is video games and knowledge/learning. He is a genius and he has escaped into his head and video games for as long as I can remember. Brandon's passions are baseball and sports. I realize that baseball is a sport; however, baseball is his first passion the other sports come next.

I have always envied my brothers' talents and passion until now. For the first time in my life, I am passionate about something and I feel like I was meant to do something. I feel like I have a calling in life. I know it sounds cliche' and it most likely is, but I know that I was meant to be a mom. I was meant to have this little man and take care of him. I have never been as good at anything as I am at being a mom. I know, I sound conceded or like I think I know everything about motherhood. That couldn't be farther from the truth. I don't know anywhere close to everything, but I have instincts. I have some experience around babies. They have never intimidated me. Being a mom, it just feels right. Taking care of Jayden, just feels like my calling. I've toyed with many other professions, with many other fields. I have never felt like this with anything before. I know I'm good at this and this is the most incredible thing I have ever experienced.

I am tired, my house is a mess, I fall asleep while pumping, but I'm happier than I have ever been. Life as a mom could not be any more rewarding. I have a loving, supportive husband who is also an incredible father and together we make up a little family I never thought I would have. I am blessed beyond measure.

You have always had many talents, but never felt a passion for any of them. It is wonderful to see you feel a passion for motherhood. I can't think of anything better. I am so amazed and proud as I watch you learn and grow and love our little Jayden. I love my new little Hahn family!!

Well thank you both. I'm blessed to have such a wonderful family.

This year, we're spending Christmas eve & morning in Logan. Christmas day and the next day in SLC, and hosting a dinner with my dad and those guys that weekend. My Christmas lasts like 5 days :)
