Um, can someone tell me how all of this works? The whole balancing your life shit?
As a new first-time mommy, I'm rolling with the punches and trying to make it all work. It seems like we're all surviving, and really that's all you can ask for, right? My baby girl, Evey, is now 3 months old and I'm back to work full time at the hospital as a Registersd Nurse in the Pediatric ICU. I'm also teaching a Candlelight yoga class one night a week, learning how to take care of a new human and also trying to remember that I have a husband! The dog? He's last priority these days! Sorry, Louie.
Do I love my new bundle of joy? Yes, more than ANYTHING! Am I organized and peaceful and balanced? F no!
Yeah yeah yeah you're life is supposed to be different with a baby, DUH! But why does all of this seem to come more easily/ naturally to every new mom but me? Maybe it doesn't, maybe all those other moms are full of shit and sugar coating the hell out of it to mask it to the world. How annoying!
Anyway, Evey is precious and no longer considered a "Newborn," Yay!!! Only because she's mine and full-term did I love her as a newborn. But honestly, when they're that small and frail and can't even hold their own heads up, t's like, "C'mon already, get older!"
Everyone always says how fast she's going to grow up. "They grow up so fast!" Well, when you hear that DAILY from EVERYONE, it doesn't seem to go that fast! But alas, she's in her infancy and no longer a fetus :) She's smiling more, mimicking sounds and grabs her feet while rocking side to side (happy baby pose, she's a natural yogi).
More to come...
