I've been a mother to this precious angel for 1 month, 1 week and 2 days now, and I have never done anything harder. At this moment, I have just put her to sleep after a thirty minute session of heavy duty crying. My nerves are frayed and I'm afraid I'll never get them wound back again. However, for all of the horrible nights, frustrating detective work to find out what's wrong, and headache inducing shrieks, I find myself completely in love. I would do anything for this critter - including giving up my sanity. To make an embarrassing confession, I must tell you that I thought stay-at-home moms had the fun and easy job. While it can be fun, it is by no means easy. I find myself envying my husband sometimes. He gets a break from the needy dogs and sobbing baby, and I don't even have the luxury of stepping out of the house for a bit. But for all of the horrible moments, there have been great ones too. I love to cuddle, go on walks, look in those big blue eyes, and every so often she rewards me by giving me one of these:
My husband put it perfectly when he said that it's the hard moments that make those others very rewarding.
