by babychick~I've always heard that motherhood is the hardest, but best job a woman could ever have. I never really understood that until now. At two weeks into it I feel as though I've ran the longest marathon known to man and yet I feel so rejuvenated. I'm getting less sleep than ever in my life and have raging hormones but yet I feel more alive than ever. I say rejuvenated because I feel like that is what God has done with so many parts of my life. It's so amazing what He can do!
I'm not going to lie to you and tell you everything is just perfect, because it isn't. We are waking up about three times a night and when the crying doesn't stop I feel like crying also. I'm starting to figure out this schedule thing but it's hard. But at the end of the day I can't keep myself from thanking God for the precious life he has given me. I never thought I could love like I do right now. I love my husband more now than ever, and cannot get over how much he loves our son. I love to just sit and watch him when he is holding him. I love that big chicklet treats him like he is her full blooded brother. I love that I can't keep my eyes off of him even in the middle of the night when I'm feeding him.
So far everything has been great though, I know there are going to be bad days and good days but I'll take it as it comes. I have recent pictures but I'm too tired to find the camera, maybe sometime this week.
I'm glad it is going so well for you. YOu are right there are days that you want to give them away and days that you want to hold them all the time.

Glad things are going well. I certainly understand where you are coming from. There were days I wanted to cry holding her and then cry when I couldn't hold her.

That's awesome! Everytime I see ya'll there seems to be a glow on your faces (you and Mr. Baby). Parenthood definitely agrees with you.

Always knew you would be a simply great mom to that little doll. He is so sweet, I can't wait to meet him in person. With a beautiful mom and handsome dad, how could any little angel go wrong?
