Mom of 2 for 2 weeks

Today marked Russell's 2-week birthday. It also means I've been a mom of 2 kids for 2 weeks. It also happens to be Wesley's 2nd birthday in 2 days. So I'll be a 22-year-old mom of a 2-year-old and a 2-weeks-and-2-days-old.

Two. 

Allow me to share 2 things I've learned thus far:

1.) Two is just as good, if not better at times, than one. I didn't know how I could love another kid like I love Wesley. I just couldn't fathom it. But I'm here to say that it's possible. I do. And my life is infinitely richer because of these two dudes. Wesley has already learned so much in the last two weeks. I feel like he's grown so much! We're all still adjusting to life with a new baby, but I know that it's making all of us a better version of ourselves.

2.) This really is what life is all about. The joys of being a parent, a mom, far outweigh any other calling in life. I'm sure of it. The entire purpose of us coming to this earth is to have eternal families. I'm so grateful for my eternal family. I'm so grateful to be a child of God- who loves me and sent me here to two wonderful parents. I'm so grateful I have the opportunity to parent two wonderful little boys. They have brought so much joy into my life over the last 2 years. They are a testament to me of God's love for me. They are sweet spirits and I know that Heavenly Father's plan for me was to have these sweet boys be a part of my family. For that, I'm so grateful. 

Look at these handsome guys! I was blessed to have the opportunity to marry an amazing man and through that opportunity I've been blessed with 2 more amazing little men. I love my life.
