Its easy to be a mom.......right?

its been kinda bothering me lately how sooo many people think its easy to be a young mom. i've heard things such as "oh you just get to stay home and play with him all day and nap." well its not quite that simple as i'm sure most of you know its not that easy you may have a relatively well behaved child (much like i do) and yet its still work its not all fun and games. some friends have even said to me "gosh i don't know why u get stressed out or angry with jacob hes soooo easy" and this was after he wouldn't nap all day and all i could do was hold him and try to comfort him...poor baby :( i was about ready to punch my friend who said that. then not a week later we were taking jacob to the emergency room because his stomach started leaking clear fluid hence the reason for his surgery. Now don't get me wrong i'm in no way complaining that "hes the hardest baby in the world" but i don't think its easy to be a good parent, to discipline and make sure your child grows up knowing they are loved and cared for and well behaved. most of my friends are still partying every night and drinking and well being young. i spend my nights and weekends with my family and love every minute of it...i was never big on partying anyway. Sometimes i wish i could just leave and go out with my friends when they ask, but i know that i need to be home and sit by the baby monitor as i watch tv on the off chance jacob wakes up and i gets some midnight snuggles :). i love being a mom i babysat other peoples children since i was 13, when i had jacob i almost didn't believe he was mine to keep and take home. i always thoughts that any minute i'd have to give him back and go home. i'm thankful for everyday i get with my sweet boy and eventhough at times i'm alittle stressed or frustrated i still wouldn't change it for the world and i hope someday that i can have another little blessing from god :) for now i'm jacobs mommy and a wife to a wonderful husband who loves me just as i am <3
