6 weeks

We've made it 6 weeks! Wow, how time continues to change.

I wish I could say that I know what I'm doing, I wish I could say that we get lots of sleep, I wish I could say I've stopped making list, I wish I could say that there have been NO blow outs, I wish I could say I haven't ruined an outfit in the laundry, I wish I could say that I've been to church, I wish I could say that I fit back in my jeans, I wish I could say that I don't cry, I wish I could say that I make dinner every night, I wish I could say that I have birth announcements made and a scrapbook started.



What I can say, is that I love little Dutch, I love being a mommy, I love that Bart's helps, helps, helps and helps some more, I love my mom and the band of women that have let me nap and helped me calm down. I love that car seats and onesies and blankets can be washed, I love disposable diapers, I love sleeping, I love getting one thing crossed off my list, I love checking facebook/pinterest at 2 AM. I love nursing and I love my nipple shield, I love that Dutch is a cuddler, I love that he is starting to be more interactive. I am proud that I went grocery shopping, I am happy when I brush my teeth and wash my face and ecstatic when I get to shower and last but not least I am scared to go back to work this week (only 1 day).

He is beautiful. Go easy on yourself! Upload a wonderful photo of Dutch to the Costco photo center and have them make your birth announcements.

You never realized how you took so many things for granted before a baby arrived on the scene. Who knew that showering was not a given and that making the bed became a super low priorty. Glad to hear that you are loving being a mommy. It just keeps getting better and easier. Good luck at work!

it gets easier! The first 6 weeks are the toughest. I'm sure you are a wonderful mommy reguardless of how many showers or dinners you've managed. :) (By the way, BeckyMc is my mom... in case you were wondering.)
