New chapter, new life challenge!
Be-lated posting here - my BB was born last year July, one week late. ^_______^ The little miss is 5 1/2 months old...very happy and easygoing (for now). She makes me laugh a lot by her actions/reactions. She's cute when she's smiling and she's cute when she's crying. ^_______^ Such a sweet sweet baby! (I'm sure all mothers say that about their child. 0=P Oh wells!)
It still feels kind of surreal...like I was secretly worrying while she was inside my tummy...whether she is alright in there...whether husband and I can handle this forever lifetime responsibility (once your child, always your child)...finally to the point where it was past her due date and then, whether or not I was confident enough we were ready for this, just wanted to be able to meet her after nine plus months! After BB's arrival, Time went by really fast and all the days went by as a blur. She was so so so small when she was born and now she is double the weight and size. After a month or so, my arms/hand ached (not used to the weight) but now I can still easily carry her with one arm. So I grew strong too...haha...along with me BB...
I don't mind motherhood defining me right now. I don't mind being the SAHM (stay-at-home Mom). Because I always knew that when I had children, I would want to stay at home and take care of them. I don't want to miss any of their cute moments! (Even the stinky ones...0=P)
I just want my BB to feel loved. And even though she's so young right now, she is already so smart and knows how to get my attention, because she misses me or needs me. (Okay, so all babies do that.) The little miss makes certain noises...so I know...and I guess it's just a mother's heart/intuition, because I'm attuned to her sounds and can "interpret" what she is trying to express.
It's lovely being a mother. Tiring, but lovely. And very rewarding. =)
