I know....she is seriously the cutest baby ever!
Three and a half weeks ago...there was no Grace Ann. Three and a half weeks later...there is and I feel like I am the furthest thing from a mom. This overconfident, smart and at times, arrogant person has turned into a second guessing, sleep-deprived and skittish mother. There's a whole lot I have learned in the past three weeks.... Here goes:
- My mom is the smartest person I know. Seriously. I am not sure it's possible to love her more than I did but I do.
- What is sleep? Once you have a child, you forget about it.
- Easiest way to throw an un-medicated ADHD person for a loop? Give them a baby....no way to schedule ANYTHING!
- My sisters are hilarious....no seriously.
- There's nothing on tv at 2pm or 2am
- Crying? There's lots of it...from me and my baby.
- I will never get the 574113695223645 thank you notes done!
- It's tough to get on a regular pumping schedule.
- Snuggle time is irreplaceable.
- I don't know how people have done this three or four times.
- I despise water worse than I did before I was pregnant.
- The cure for a headache? More baby screaming.
- Babies make the funniest faces....seriously.
- A shower a day is a blessing...
- Once you have a child, you'll probably never straighten your hair again.
- Pictures are more important than ever....especially when your family lives far away.
- God seriously gives you patience as a mom. I had none before. Now I have a little.
And I will leave you with some of my favorite pictures of the week.....
Your authenticity is to be admired.. I have enjoyed reading about your journey.. And you seriously are incredible
