This is a question I seem to get quite frequently since Colton was born. I sit and think about how drastically my life has changed since this tiny human being who is completely dependent upon me was born. I really want to answer the question with the following:
Well, you mean how do I enjoy...
- being puked on
- peed on
- pooped on
- changing outfits multiple times a day for the previously mentioned things (both baby and myself)
- giving yourself completely to another
- not get more than 3-4 consecutive hours of sleep
- my nipples bleeding and sore to the point of having to go to a dermatologist to get help (sorry for the TMI for some)
- rarely having a hot meal
- having any meal for that matter
- rushing through a shower in hopes that he won't fuss or start crying
- making funny sounds to entertain
- planning outings around pumping/feeding
- oh did I mention functioning with little sleep...
Being a mom definitely is tough, I'm sure, but I know how much you're loving every minute of it.
ReplyDeleteHe's already one of the cutest things I've ever seen, and you look so amazing with him-- Brian too. :)
I love you guys and am so happy for your sweet lil' family. Colton is lucky to have you as a mother.
