My Wonderful Life

My life today is so very different than I would have expected. I remember a few years ago, maybe about 3 years ago, I thought for sure I would never get married and for sure never have more children. Wow, I sure was wrong. I was happy to be on my own, working and coming home to watch movies by myself, spend time with family, I was sure that was enough for me. Now I look back and see how wrong those thoughts were. I have never been more happy. I now have a wonderful husband who has helped me grow so much, he has encouraged me in so many ways. Even through post-partum depression he has stuck by me, he has been so supportive and helped me to realize that it's okay. I have learned to speak my mind and to communicate so much better because he has been there to guide me through so many of my issues. Brad has broke down so many of the walls that I put up to protect myself, he has helped me to become more patient and understanding. He is an amazing father to our children and an amazing husband. I am so blessed to have him in my life. I couldn't even think of a better person for me than him.

We now have an amazingly perfect baby girl, Brooklyn Jean Jensen, she is now 9 months old. It's been a crazy 9 months, we've watched her change and grow so much, from sleeping all day to hardly sleeping at all, from never making a sound for the first 3 weeks to never being quiet again. She now eats so many different things, our next new challenge with her will be slowly getting her off of the boob. I love the time I have with her while's nursing, but I am ready to be done sometime soon. We have had our share of issues, especially with sleep, but with a supportive husband by my side we put our foot down and decided that she needed to sleep in her own room. A few days of crying and now she sleeps so much better, almost all night again. She is crawling like crazy, I've never seen a baby crawl as fast as her, now we're onto the challenge of learning to walk. She stood by herself yesterday for 15-20 seconds, and was so proud of herself. She says mama and dada now, it's so precious.

I am so excited to see what is in store for us in the next few months. I have a wonderful life and couldn't ask for much more.
