I don't understand how moms blog. I'm new to this and I'm finding out how hard it is to do anything/everything. How do working moms juggle? Holy cow! I need lessons. I figured it would be as easy as 123 I mean, Ive babysat before being a mom and it was so simple.. then I realized why. My job was to play with the baby. Period. Not clean house, laundry, dishes, shopping, cooking, and still have time for things I should be doing.. such as exercising... or even things I want to do, like be crafty and artsy and such as. I have a lot to learn but first and foremost I'm learning I come last.
So I'm spending my days with the most adorable little girl on the planet and trying to watch her every move. I don't want to miss a single coo. Her personality is magnetic. I watch her discovering the world around her and I am mesmerized by her curiosity. I know how much she eats, when she needs a diaper change, and when she hasn't pooped. I know when she's tired, what makes her happy, or when she is bored with me. I've got this girl down!! I know how much she has grown, what she still fits in to and what she has grown out of, I know when she does something new, when she wants to be in my arms and when she wants to be left alone. However, I don't know when the last time was that I took a shower or brushed my hair or even got dressed for the day. I take TONS of pictures of her and I make sure not even my hand is in the shot! I'm dreadful but happier then I've ever been.
I'm a first time mom and a first time wife and I'm easing into the changes to somehow discover BALANCE. I want to devote my time to miss Eden Grace and to my loving husband but I also don't want to get lost in their lives. Some may think this is selfish, but I think its crucial for my health and happiness. So if anyone has any words of advise on how to maintain that balance, I want to hear from you. Whether you maintain it with 1 child or 1o. I'm all ears... but sorry, my hands are full! ;)
