Crazy, Wonderful, tearful Life

Wonderful, Crazy, Exhausting, Amazing, Emotional, Joy, Tough, Unconditional Love….

That sums it up! I am a Mom of a 12 week old. I love my daughter with all my heart, but this is harder than I thought. I am no longer concerned about my needs, but I have to take care of a helpless child. I have been around babies practically my whole life. I am good with babies; other people’s babies. Many thought I was baby whisperer. I have learned I am not, but I am learning. By Gods grace, I am learning

 Colic, Acid Reflux, Puke, Tiny, Sweet, Adorable, Baby Doll…

That sums up my daughter. Even when she is crying so hard and I don’t know what to do with her, she is cute as a button. We have her colic and Acid reflux under control with Medication, but if she doesn’t get it on time what a cranky little girl she can be.

She smells momma and all she wants to do it eat. She can be scream blue murder in my arms, daddy takes her and she is all smiles. She coos and talks to him, for me she gives smiles, but rarely talks. DADDY’S Girls…Will she be like me and my daddy? I believe so!

Daddy's Girl: Studying with Daddy is the best

She is going to be a little thing her whole life. That is fine. She is in the less than 5%  for her age. But she loves to eat and only wants mommy’s milk from mommy. No bottles for her. I pray that as she gets older she will take a bottle, because I would love to leave her with a babysitter once a week so I can go back to tutoring.

These past 3 months have been exhausting, life changing but so wonderful. I never thought being a momma could be this trying. I am learning a lot about myself through this experience, but through the tears (mine and hers) and sweat I love her unconditionally. I am looking forward to her being older where I can interact with her more and more. What a joy she is.
