I have been a mom for 2 1/2 months. My little man continues to get bigger and bigger, which is the way it should be but I can't believe how fast it's happening. I found pictures on my camera that Steve took when we were in the hospital and just after we came home. Is that small baby the same person that now is so big and chubby? Incredible!
I'm slowly figuring out how to rebalance my life. Letting go of work felt bittersweet, but it has been a blessing to have the extra time in the mornings to shower, do homework, clean, and play with Matty when he's awake. In a couple weeks, I'll be finished with this semester and can cross homework off my to-do list for a few weeks. I have a couple craft projects I plan on completing once school is finished. Each day I'm able to find time to do the things I feel need to get done. A lot of things don't get done but I'm okay with that. I'm learning to prioritize. Spending time with my son comes first, everything else just squeezes into whatever time is left. Remarkably, I might still get A's in both my classes despite not spending as much time as I'd like on my schoolwork. *fingers crossed*
Is there anything better than when your kid snuggles up to you to take a nap? I could eat him up, he's so dang cute! I love his chubby arms and legs. He's a pretty happy guy most of the time; smiling and gurgling all day. Last night, when I put him in his crib, he looked up at me and smiled so big it made my heart sing. I smiled back and he giggled. We spent the next few minutes laughing. I love this kid.
Being a mom has opened my heart more than I ever imagined. I love my husband more. He is such a good dad and helps out so much. I married a remarkable man. I also am more sensitive about kids. I cry a lot more when I read or hear stories, both happy and sad, that deal with kids. I'm also very protective, of my kid and other kids too. My emotions are very heightened. Does it last?
I love being Matty's mom.
