I really cant say how wonderful being mommy is! "Families are Forever" has a whole new meaning for me. I really have loved every second of it. Its something that is so exciting and wonderful. I love experiencing new things, and motherhood has been a great adventure! Since being a mom, I've realized that I do things that someone would only do if they were a mom. I try to remember them or right them down as they happen or as I think about them. Like....
I now have the talent of being able to take a shower, do my hair and makeup in less than 20 minutes, but unfortunately sometimes I only have time to shave one leg.
I'm pretty good at catching bostyns throw up.
I want to say "I can" but I cant, its just the fact that I've "tried" talking on the phone, feeding bostyn a bottle and make dinner at the same time which I wont ever try again. It was a disaster.
I now notice that I consider things like cleaning my house or grocery shopping as "me time"
Its funny to think about some of these things and notice them. Like at my 6 week OB check up I wanted to laugh when the doctor asked me what I was planning on using for birth control haha. Birth control has a whole new meaning for me now.
I now feel naked walking out the door alone.
A glamorous date night consists of subway, and half of a movie, because we cant keep our eyes open long enough to get through one.
When I'm watching the news or something and I hear about another criminal or teenager doing something completely stupid, I think. "where is your mother?" Which was something that my mom would say when I was younger, and got so annoying.
Its crazy how fast time goes by, Bostyn is changing so fast! Before I had her, I told Mckay that I wanted to have all the kids we are going to have by the time I was like 28, because I want them to be pretty close together. I only have one kid right now and my life has completely changed, I cant imagine what is going to be like with 2 or 3. Is scary as this is to say, we'll probably try for another one in a year or so. I know I know!! Crazy to say but, I just dont want to have like 4 years between kids. If this conversations gets brought up with Mac, he's probably going to act like it didn't happen, but it did.
Adjusting to motherhood, really isn't as hard as I thought It was going to be, but there are a lot of sacrifices that have to be made, however they're worth it and very important. We were put on this earth to have families and to be mothers, not for worldly pleasures, not that I don't find my self getting caught up in them, because I do but I have learned to be a better person from it. I thought my life was just perfect with just McKay and I. It was hard to imagine our life with another little person it it, little did I know that she would make our worlds bigger and better.
I look in the mirror now and have made peace with my stretch marks, because of what they mean. I am a mom.

My favorites are "me time" activities and the glamorous date night. The date night will get better as Bostyn sleeps more, but I still get excited to go grocery shopping or have a few minutes to clean bathrooms!
ReplyDeleteI love your bangs! It is hard the first time they get shots and actually still hard for me every time Easton gets shots. Motherhood does have a whole new meaning when you have your own kid. I say the same thing when I watch the news where is their mother. I use to hate throw up but now I have gotten use to it because I had a very spitty up baby. I love reading these posts!
