I'm back...what a whirlwind it has been. A beautiful one, but a whirlwind none the less. I'm slowly coming up from under the rock of mommy hood I've been living in for the past three months. If someone was to describe to me how it was going to be as a Mommy you probably couldn't have put it into words. Don't get me wrong, people definitely tried but they didn't come anywhere close. I felt prepared for this journey in so many ways and so unprepared in so many other ways. My google feed is a ridiculous mess of questions involving everything from how often should my child be sleeping during the day (this one I think I've googled multiple multiple times with no concrete answer, or maybe there is a concrete answer but my little girl doesn't seem to fall into any of the norms) to poop colors, rashes, flat heads, pacifiers, SIDS, co-sleeping, sleeping in a crib, storing human milk, vaccines, cry it out, soothe to sleep, to basically any question I can think of that might be something to worry about. I worry a lot more now. I mean I worried before, especially after I met my husband, because now I had another person in my life I needed to keep safe...and now times that again by a little sweet being and the worry chart goes a bit crazy. But despite it all, even the days that I don't make it to the shower or I leave the house by mistake in my slippers (true story) or the days I can't even get through one paragraph on the blog to talk about it...I'm feel so lucky. Here's to 2015 and all the magic that it has in store.
