Motherhood


As I sit here watching my little angel sleeping I finally have a free second to blog...and I'm not typing with one hand while holding baby with the other. It's interesting to me how you adapt...everything...when you add a baby to the mix. For instance, I now take faster showers than my family ever thought possible...no time for dilly dallying when you have Daddy pacing back and forth in the bathroom with screaming child chanting "Mommy is almost done...hurry Mommy...Sarah is hungry!" Just in case I hadn't gotten that from the desperate wailing coming from the other side of the shower curtain. Also, forget eating a hot meal EVER again. You see, apparently babies don't actually become unbelievably famished until you are right in the middle of something...such as eating, taking a shower or blow drying your hair. I'm actually trying to grow my hair out so that I can do the ponytail thng when needed as I've become quite accustomed to wearing hats now that I'm a mom. Hey, when you don't have time to blow dry the hat works great! I would say for the most part though being a mom has been incredibly wonderful! Scott is an amazing dad (I already knew he would be!) and helps out every chance he gets and takes great satisfaction in gloating over the fact that she's already a daddy's girl...something I think could be bad for both of us...me having to be the bad guy and him being a huge pushover...which he already is! In all seriousness though...God really has blessed us...especially me! I have a wonderful, loving husband and a beautiful sweet little girl!
