"Motherhood Things"

I realize it's been only 2 and a half weeks into my motherhood journey, but still...I am in awe of this magical experience.

I have a pretty strong hunch that most of my entries will be pretty cheesy in the coming days but cheesy/sentimental I am. And if the excitement of this experience doesn't bring it out in me, I couldn't imagine what else would.

I find myself thinking the same things many moms must feel...how did my life ever exist without her? The same thing I say about Chris and embarrassingly enough, the same thing I say about my pups ;) But after all, this is my family. My piece of the world that I wonder how I deserved. A thankful prayer I will never tire of saying.

Here are just a few "motherhood things" I have learned over the past few weeks...

1. Showers really NEVER have felt so good as they do now! And yes...I may only average a good shower ever 1.5 days, but wow do they feel incredible.

2. I can now accomplish more things with just one hand than I ever thought possible. Not to mention, your chin works very well to hold a bottle upright while feeding! ;)

3. You really can fall in love with your husband all over again in an entirely different way. He's an amazing daddy so far and I love watching every minute of it.

4. Having a baby never makes you so popular. And by "you", I mean the baby of course!

5. Life experiences like this show you how incredible your family and friends really are. From gifts to dinners to babysitting and phone calls...it's been so touching to us.

6. Wally has a new best friend: Aves ;)

7. Quite possibly my favorite...I now have a family of my own and I couldn't imagine a more amazing one.

More random thoughts to come. But if you can't tell, I am loving every minute of this.
