We've officially had little Eden for a month! It's been a very good month. She has been my easiest baby to console and just loves to eat above everything else! My family came into town to help the first week and they were a godsend. Then Sam had his Paternity leave the week after that. So I've had it pretty easy.

I was so nervous getting pregnant. I knew I wanted more children, but motherhood is so hard the thought of adding on sounded daunting. So I added a quote by Elder Andersen to my phone's wallpaper to help me move forward. "Motherhood is not a hobby, it is a calling...it is not something to do if you can squeeze the time in. It is what God gave you time for.” There is no "good time" to have another child, so I acted on faith. And Heavenly Father has blessed me so abundantly. I am doing well so far and I can't get over my precious daughter! She is the perfect addition.

My beautiful daughter

First bath at home

Despite being so rough, they adore her!

First trip to the beach

Dressing her is by far one of the best parts of my day

Already sooo awake

I could stare at her all day, and I do
