I think this last month I've been sleeping as much as when I was studying in France minus the 24 hour naps I used to take after partying... This mom job us full time, no pay and the boss is VERY demanding. I must say, this blog post isn't at all a complaint, I am very very happy with my baby girl and her infinite needs. In spite of the many hours I have to spend taking care of my baby, the fact that my clothes sometimes smell like baby vomit, my house is a mess and I don't always have the time to shower all I can say is that it is amazing to have this beautiful little person scream at you when you clean her nose.
I've had to learn to breastfeed which I must say is more difficult than any video, book or class can teach you, it was very frustrating for me to learn how to do it and I think it also takes time for the baby to learn how to grab your new gigantic swollen boobs.
Daily bottle cleaning is another task that seems very logic but didn't cross my mind until I realized I had to do it. I ended up buying more bottles because it really becomes a never ending task.
And even though I'm telling you moms are super amazing things on earth and I never knew it until now, this picture right here » » » » » represents better the feeling I get every day when I wake up, and the thing is, I think new moms need to be told this beforehand in some way that is more believable. Maybe it says somewhere, like the reality book of motherhood or something, but almost everything I read was telling me how with tips and tricks it was all going to be easier... well maybe it is easiER but not really. Anyways, I think I am learning a little bit every day, or maybe not.. I do know I am trying really really hard and sometimes I am very tired and get frustrated and my husband has to take over but I wouldn't be able to live without my baby anymore.
Finally all I can say is that I recommend motherhood very very much, it is really great to see how she grows a little more every day, how she is very loved by everyone around us. to sing to her, to calm her when she's crying, even getting screamed at when cleaning her boogers. So far it's been the most amazing experience I've had and I also think that getting through all of this brings me and my husband even closer.
« « « Here she is, sleepy head of mine, it would be just impossible not to love this creature.
Later folks!
