So many wonderful things happening in our family lately!! Just to name a few:
-family from Texas is here!
-Emma has slept through the night 3 times!
-I am starting work on my own!
-Emma is starting to enjoy her baths:)
-RJ and I have had our first couple of outings without baby along
It's going to be a busy busy rest of the summer with weddings, family things, a weekend at the lake in July, and me getting started working in my own shop!
Well I am starting to feel like I am getting the hang of being a new mom. I've realized it's ok if: housework doesn't get done right away, I don't get a shower everyday, if Emma doesn't have a perfect schedule, or is not a "perfect baby" and many such things. A baby is a lot of work and there are really good days where I seem to have it all together, and there are days when Emma is crabby, I'm tired and forgetful and feel I'm at the end of my rope. But we're having more good days and nights than bad ones and I'm finding that my changing priorities are a wonderful thing, and are essential in life raising a child. I'm enjoying Emma more and more as I get to know and understand her better. As the days go by I start to figure out when she's crying because she's tired, hungry, or just to be fussy. And I'm learning not to run to her side the moment she starts to wimper. I didn't know what kind of mom I would be, and I confess I have judged moms I know on how they "mother" and I am just learning so much about it all. I'm realizing that I am pretty much your typical first time mommy. I flinch when she cries, get nervous about leaving her, and I call the doctor over little things. But this is ok! I love my little girl more than I could ever have imagined and even though her daddy and I are far from perfect and may not have the slightest clue what we're doing....no one loves Emma more than we do, and no one will work harder to give her the best life possible!!
Whew! That was deep!
Anywho..... I will leave for now as Emma is starting to stir, but I hope everyone out there is doing well and hopefully all this rain will go away soon!!! So tired of everything being wet:(
Love to all!
