Things I LOVE about being a mom:

-Kissing Blake all over
-Nursing Blake
-Dressing him up in cute outfits
-Staring into his eyes
-Watching his funny expressions
-Looking at his cute face all day
-Changing diapers (it's not so bad yet)
-Obsessing about how cute Blake is
-Pondering how the heck he came out of me
-Having him hold my finger

Things that are different with being a mom:

-Postpartum hormones
-Frustrations and struggles with learning how to nurse
-Lack of sleep

I agree with you- there are some things that I miss about being pregnant, too! Not the sore-ness or feeling icky & all that, but feeling the baby moving inside me and wondering what they will look like and be like.
ReplyDeleteLack of sleep was my biggest fall back! I had no idea that I relied on it so much! But yes everything else there is totally true!
