| I chose this picture because this is my favorite thing to do with my baby girl, cuddle! |
So I figured since I'm now a stay at home mom I need to write a blog post. It's what I'm suppose to do because I have SO much free time staying at home with a little one, right?!
Side note, said little one is currently staring at me plotting how she might could get her hands on this laptop and blow drool bubbles all over it.
Anyhow, as I contemplated what this post would be about I thought I could go the serious route and talk about the struggles and joys of becoming a mom. Then I decided that post would probably be so long no one could read it in a reasonable amount of time. Perhaps I'll write that one when my brain functions better than the mushy rice cereal I fed the little drooling girl this morning. So, I decided to do a list of sorts of the top 10 things I have learned since becoming a mom, a little serious & a little fun!
Here goes, in the past 4 months I have learned (in no particular order)...
1. A baby changes EVERYTHING. Everyone tells you this and all the books say it, but you cannot comprehend it until it happens. This little bundle of joy that can barely open their eyes will rock your world in the hardest, but best way possible!
2. The 10 second food rule applies to pacies. In fact, the time limit is extended to 30 seconds, or 1 minute, or longer...
3. Everything that I said I wouldn't do with a baby before becoming a mom, I have now done. The lesson here is be very careful when saying the words "I will never..." You will likely do whatever followed these 3 words at some point in the future. I'm pretty sure I said I will never write a "mom blog" or post a million pictures of my baby on social media, OOPS!
4. You can have a complete conversation using the sounds "ga", "ta", "gee", "mmm", & "da."
5. I cannot come close to being the mom she needs without relying fully on God. Let's just say when I'm not fully following & trusting Him, you don't want to drop by! Or maybe you should to remind me that I need to trust Him!
6. Poop can get ANYWHERE! Seriously, I don't even know how, but even ears aren't safe from it.
7. I married well. Not trying to brag, but my husband is amazing. You really learn how awesome your husband is when you watch him love and care for your baby. As cheesy as it sounds, you really do fall in love with him all over again.
8. Sleep is the most precious thing in the world!
9. No matter how ridiculously silly something is, if it makes your baby smile, you will do it a million times.
10. Last, but far from least, I have learned to be thankful for the season of infertility I faced. God taught me lessons during that time I never knew I needed to learn. I don't know why God chose the timing He did to grant me the desire of my heart to be a mom, but I've learned His timing is perfect and I can trust Him even when I don't understand.
So there it is, from my mushy rice cereal like brain, the top 10 things I've learned since becoming a mom!
