No more Work.....

So today is my last day at Abbott! My manager came to the house to get my final things; laptop, iPad, phone, training modules, literature, and samples. I have packed everything up and cleaned out my office. I can't believe this day is here!!

Josh and I have talked about this for so long. As a Financial Advisor, he would have advised against it, but as a Daddy to be he is all for it! No matter how the math comes out! There is no price on spending time with your children! We feel very blessed and thankful to The Lord for all that He has provided for us.

I am thankful for my 10 year career in Medical Sales. It started with Bayer Healthcare and ended with Abbott. Two great companies. I am thankful for the colleagues I have met and worked with over the years. I know many will remain close friends. Everyone has been so supportive of my new journey as a stay at home Mom.

This decision still wasn't easy, but with both feet I jump I out of my comfort zone and I am forced to lean on God and let Him be in control. I need to do more of this in my life and I know He is ready for me. I look forward to the things I will learn and how I will grow into my new role and as a Mom.

I know that I will work harder than I ever have and there will be hard days ahead but there will be so many good ones to offset those! I want to thank you all for your support and encouragement in making this decision. The last day is here, and it's surprisingly much more sad and difficult than I ever thought. I think that's because I cared so much and took great pride in what I did.

There will be no more rankings, sales goals, bonuses, awards, etc for my hard work. Instead I will lean on smiles and hugs and happy, healthy kids as my reward!

Cheers! To a great career and all that it provided for us, and cheers to my loving husband for being so on board with this decision and for taking on all the financial responsibility for us. I know that burden is heavy and I will never take it for granted what you do.

Lots of Love,

Timnah, CEO of Masariu Enterprises

Happy 1st Mothers Day

Today is my first Mothers Day!!!! I woke up to a beautiful day, a lovely card from my husband, and reservation at a favorite restaurant!! I'm having the banana fosters crepes!! :)

I have already received my real Mothers Day gift, this beautiful miracle baby!! But Josh did top it off with an early surprise in Paris when he gave me a Pandora bracelet with each charm meaning something special. I absolutely love it!!!


It's a special day and a special time for me as I reflect on being a Mother and getting prepared to teach this baby of ours so many things.





I am so thankful to God and praise him for this gift He's given us. I know this child is His and I will do my best to be a godly Mother.

Many loving blessings to all the Moms today. I celebrate all of you and I know that I will lean on you for support and guidance in our days to come!!!

Love,
The New Mommy

Dreams

Well they say you have lots of vivid dreams in your second trimester and I have been experiencing that!!

I had a dream that we had a baby boy and then I had a dream that we were at the Reveal Party cutting the cake and it was both pink and blue!!! Everyone was asking what is it? And I didn't know how to respond! I think that dream means I want either and it doesn't matter which I get first as long as the baby is healthy!!

I felt the Baby Move!!

In the middle of the night last night I felt the baby move!! It was so cool. It felt like a faint flutter. I can't wait for Josh to be able to feel the movement too! Exciting!
