Tonight was a seemingly typical night in our house. It was not out of the ordinary. And yet, it was also monumental.
4. If I get dressed and put on makeup I'm going to go somewhere.
While you were sleeping, I just stared at you, in awe, that something so perfect could come from me. ?
More cooperation and connection are around the corner.
It’s overwhelming to have another person so completely dependent on you for everything, all of the time.
The voice you need to listen to is your own.
You would make any mama proud, parading around in that thing like you were born in it.
And I want them back as the mom I am today—slightly more stable and sane, with some idea of what I’m doing.
It’s the love that makes it the best and hardest, the scariest and the most beautiful. ?
I’ve given up assuming blame or insinuating wrong doing for simply living my life and being who I am.
6. If it incites decision angst, drop it
When you realize you won’t have the experience of raising a child of the opposite gender, it takes a while to wrap your head around it.
1. Talk to the camera. This will feel terribly awkward at first.
“Don’t ever lose touch with your girlfriends, sweetheart. The older you get, the more you’ll need them,” she said.
Snuggle them and hold on tight knowing that this tiresome day will be your beautiful, cherished memory tomorrow.
1. Be a good listener, not the pregnancy guru
Why carving some time out of family time and using it for yourself is a great idea. ?
We can teach our children that peace builds bridges—bridges that can carry us over in times of trouble. ✌️️
The truth is, I stay up late because I want to be alone.
Thank you for loving the most imperfect me, I am so very much better because of you.
