There are a few things about motherhood that are exactly as I pictured them.
One of them is taking my son for a walk.
Yesterday, as I strolled through a lovely late-summer day, I couldn't help but shed a few tears of what can only be described as pure, unbridled happiness. I passed a playground and envisioned days in the future, catching Will as he slides down, pushing him on the swings.
I stopped to check the mail and we got our first piece addressed to him. . . how strange and how wonderful.
I don't hurry during my walks. He loves the time outside and I am enjoying walking without an extra ungainly thirty pounds weighing me down. So, I take my time.
I know he will grow up so fast. I know that life will try to take my concentration away from these precious moments that I have waited so very long for.
So I just take my time. And walk with Will.

I love this post. Absolutely love it. And I can completely imagine you and Will taking in the glorious sunshine and savoring every minute of life. It is so precious.
*hugs*
Alright, cue the tears.
Beautiful post! Got me teary-eyed... I've felt like a Monster Momma today because I stayed up late with hubby and then kept getting woken up. I am tired, in more ways than one. Thanks for reminding me to take hold of the precious moments. It's freezing here but perhaps I will take the girls out into the sunshine today...
Enjoy every moment to the fullest Katie, because you soooo deserve this!!! ((HUGS))
Perfect! I really enjoyed seeing through your eyes. :)
I am sorry I am belated--but CONGRATS!!!! Will is here and adorable and just precious...so happy for you all!
Such Sweetness
The walks sound like a pleasant way to unwind and enjoy the company with your son. I am glad for you that it is going exactly how your pictured it.
