I have now been a mom for 3 weeks and boy was I ever wrong in my assumptions of what it would be like. I thought that since babies sleep all the time I would actually get bored and have all of this free time to clean, do crafts ect ect. Nope! Since she is up every few hours ready to eat than I sleep while she sleeps if I can. Anyone who knows me knows I looove my sleep so it has been quite the transition to not getting a full nights sleep. I am loving it though, I have never been so tired and so happy in my life. I absolutely love being a mom, it's true you never know that kind of love till you experience it yourself. To all of you mother out there I bow down to you, especially to you single mothers I double bow down to you. I don't know what I would do with out Ryan's help and patience. I'm still getting used to getting another person ready so I'm always late and of course when it's my turn to get ready myself MJ only wants to be held and wont just chill in her bassinet. And can I just say thank heavens for baby plugs, I mean binkies. I don't even know what I would do with out one. They are amazing.
I'm also grateful for a husband who thinks I'm super hot even when I smell like breast milk, have make up on from the previous day smeared across my face, hair matted and ready to make dread locks.
Being a mom is the most amazing thing though, this little life depends on you for everything and even at 3 in the morning when I'm exhausted and just want to sleep but she needs to be fed and changed I look at her sweet face and just melt.
Over the weekend we had Mary's pictures taken by the lovely Missy Allen again. She is amazing!! I highly recommend her if you need any kind of photos done, she is talented and so fun to work with. She takes her time getting the right shots and making sure we are happy with everything. You can tell she really enjoys what she does.
Here's a sneak peak of the shoot: Click

Oh yes...I remember that transition...Now you know why I cut all my hair off and reduced my wardrobe to t-shirts and jeans: the time factor.
ReplyDeleteYou'll get the hang of it though, and when you have a second baby you'll marvel that you ever thought just one was hard. :)
Okay, those pictures are to die for. She is SO precious! I was also very shocked at the transition to mommyhood. Of course I loved being a new mom, but I really could have never been prepared for how difficult it was at first. Hang in there, it really does get easier!
ReplyDeleteI still don't sleep....
