I am also a mom to a seven month old daughter who I absolutely adore! I love the Lord with all my heart...without Him in my life I would not be where I am today! I am enjoying the balancing act of being a stay at home mom and wife and, together with my husband, am enjoying our wonderfully blessed life!!

Benefits of Breastfeeding
Posted by jennasue
When I found out I was pregnant, I knew that I wanted to breastfeed. Now that I have my baby and have been nursing for over three months now...I can tell you that it's the best decision I could ever have made. I realize that there are circumstances where a mother cannot breastfeed for one reason or another, but I have to tell you...that if you have the opportunity and are able to breastfeed your baby...definitely give it a try! Labels: Children, Faith, Health, Motherhood, Pregnancy
I not only promote breastfeeding because it's a time to bond with your little one and the obvious convenience and affordability of it, but also because it's the way God made us and it's what's best for our babies. Breastmilk has immune boosting ingredients that help prevent babies from getting sick as easily. If a baby does get sick, it's also the best thing for them to get over the sickness. It promotes healthy brain and and body development as well. It can also be useful in helping keep babies from getting allergies, ear infections and other conditions...it even helps reduce the risk of SIDS! It is also helpful for the mother in preventing different cancers, such as breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and cervical cancer.
There are so many reason to consider breastfeeding your baby, many others than just the few I've mentioned here. Whether you breastfeed for 6 months, 1 year, or even longer...it's the very best thing you can do for you child! In fact, in my opinion, it's one of the absolute best gifts you can give your child!!
God Is Good!!
Posted by jennasue
As 2007 comes to an end, I can't help but look back on the past year and smile as I remember all of the wonderful new adventures my husband and I experienced and the journey God is taking us on. I was sitting here thinking about how much has changed since last year at this time! Let me tell you...2007 was definitely a busy and life changing year for my husband and I...it was one of the busiest and happiest years of our lives!! The Lord has truly blessed us! 2007 started out with Scott accepting a great new job position. We moved early February to a house that we were renting. Around that same time we found out that we were expecting our first baby!! What an exciting time! :) Later on...in June...Scott and I began looking for homes. We liked the house we were renting, but wanted something to call our own. We found the perfect home for us...it had everything we were looking for and more!! We ended up buying the house and moving in around the first week of August. After that we were getting closer and closer to the arrival of our little one (at the time not knowing what we were having). Kaelyn Sue was due Oct 28, and was born Nov 1!! She is such a wonderful little girl. We're enjoying watching her change and grow each day. It's hard to believe that she's over two months old already!! Finally, with the recent addition to our family we began searching for a vehicle that would suit us better. We found the perfect one...my parents SUV that they were selling. They were in search of a different vehicle as well...so we bought theirs from them just recently. Thinking back to what a busy year it's been I have nothing but joyful thoughts and appreciation for all God has blessed us with! We are now very proud parents of our beautiful little girl, homeowners, Scott's working and I'm a stay at home mom, and we have a vehicle that will now last us for a very long time!! God is good!! He continues to bless us in so many ways!! We're absolutely loving life and all God has for us!
Parenthood
Posted by jennasue
Scott and I were just talking the other night and we can't believe how quickly the past year has gone...specifically in terms of finding out we were going to become parents, and then having our beautiful daughter just a short time ago!! It was in February when we found out that we were expecting with our first baby. We were so thrilled when we found out....and can't believe that she is already here with us and changing our lives in so many wonderful ways! Parenthood is unlike anything we've ever gone through in our entire lives. What a miracle and a blessing to not only have a new life in the family, but also to be starting a family with the person that you love with all your heart!! We are really enjoying parenthood and all it entails. I knew Scott would be such a great dad...and he is!! He's a Christian man which is most important, and he is also so loving, kind, understanding, patient, forgiving....I could go on and on!! :) The most important thing to us as parents is that our children not only grow up knowing they are loved and have parents who will always be there, but also that they will grow up in a Christian home, one where Christ is the center of our family and all we do, and knowing Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. I am so thankful to my parents for being such wonderful role models and for bringing us up in a Christan home where we felt loved, secure and above all, where we saw and learned what it means to have a personal relationship with Christ....allowing us to truly get to know Him and make Him the Lord of our lives. I think that's one of the most important things a parent can do for their children...is to have that Christian foundation set in their home, where their children can grow in the Lord and come to know Him as their Lord and Savior!!
The Life Of A Twin....
Posted by jennasue
Yep...that's right...I'm a twin! In fact, twins have run in my family for many generations. It's no surprise that my mom is and that she had twins (my brother and I). I don't know about many other people out there, but I really enjoy being a twin. It seems that we have many similarities in our lives....besides the obvious same birth date. We ended up going to the same college, getting married a week a part, and most recently had babies just 2 weeks apart (they were actually due only a day apart). Scott and I had our little girl Kaelyn...and Josh and Diana had a little boy, Emry.
This Christmas will sure be a fun time getting the two cousins together for the very first time. They live down in Texas, so this will be the first time we get to meet little Emry. My family is so excited to get everyone together. My younger brother is ecstatic as well....as he is an uncle for the first time!! :) I can't wait to get the two babies together and take lots and lots of pictures.
To My Surprise....
Posted by jennasue
When I first began staying home and not working outside of the home...I was pregnant with Kaelyn. In the beginning I thought to myself...This is going to be great! I'm going to have so much time on my hands to get everything done!....Little did I know that this was not the case. Even though I was a stay-at-home-wife at the time...I still was so very busy. Between the laundry, cleaning the house, working online, etc....I found that it was 5:30 in the evening before I even had time to glance at the clock. It's amazing how quickly time goes when you're busy. I didn't expect for it to be that way...but I guess that's just the way it goes. Now being a stay-at-home-mom is much the same. I find myself making to-do lists, only to find that there's never enough time in a day to get everything done. Labels: Blogging, Children, Home, Making Money, Motherhood, Pregnancy
Emry William Has Arrived!!
Posted by jennasue
My twin brother and his wife recently had their first baby yesterday afternoon! Emry William is adorable from the pictures that have been sent via e-mail, and sounds like such a sweet little guy! Kaelyn and Emry were actually due only a day apart, but each of them decided to wait a little longer to arrive. The whole family is ecstatic to finally have Emry here with us!! He's a beautiful and healthy little boy!! The Lord continues to bless our family in so many wonderful ways!! It's so much fun to see our family growing and all of us are so excited to see what God has in store for us next!!
Let The Journey Begin....
Posted by jennasue
My husband and I have been married for 2 1/2 years now and always knew that we wanted children!! Last February we found out that I was pregnant and were extremely excited about it!! We couldn't wait to become parents and meet our little one! :) Those next 9 months went by very quickly, and this month our beautiful daughter was born!! She is everything we had imagined her to be and more. What a blessing she is and has been to our lives so far. Becoming a mother is something I had thought about and dreamed of since I was a little girl. Now, this dream has become a reality and I'm loving every minute of it. The biggest change to becoming a mother is learning to balance all of the other aspects of my life at the same time. Between being a wife, a mother, a stay at home mom who tries to make a little extra cash here and there, as well as keeping the house clean, making meals and getting exercise in once in a while...I've learned that the balancing act of motherhood is not always an easy one, but an adventure I am living daily, learning about with each moment that passes, and loving with all of my heart! I wouldn't change a thing and thank God for each and every day and all that He has blessed our family with! With that said, I thought it would be fun to begin a blog about the adventure of motherhood and the balancing act it entails! I'm looking forward to sharing my life as an everyday mom and relating to other mothers out there who are also experiencing this wonderful adventure and journey of motherhood!!
