Mom finally chiming in

I know I have been saying this for a month now but, being a Mom is a lot harder than I expected. I realized that I had finally joined the ranks of mothers this morning when Annika spit up down my shirt, in my bra, and in my hair, and I didn't feel the need to immediately shower. I just kept trying to rock her to sleep.
















I am amazed at how I can feel frustrated, tired, and incredibly lucky all at the same time. Every time I see her cuddled up, my heart melts.

  1. Toughest job you've ever had, and the most important. You do the best at it that you can and will often feel like a failure because you weren't perfect. Those of us reading this blog, though, know that Annika's a lucky girl.

  2. Don't fool yourself, you're doing a great job! Remember, babies cry. When Annika cries, its not an indictment of your parenting!
