On motherhood…
It’s been six months since Lucy was born. In that time, I have learned a lot of things about me, my family and my husband.
1. People love giving unsolicited advice
Never have I ever had so many people telling me what I should do. It comes out of nowhere and they just know they are right.
2. I still don’t like kids
I love my child and the children in my life (Eli, Ady, Gavin, I am talking to you) but as a whole, I am not really a “kids person”.
3. It’s not a bad as everyone makes it out to be (actually, it’s pretty neat)
I don’t know if it’s a type of hazing or people have a different perception of what parenthood is going to be like but I have a good time with Lucy. I think she’s funny and cute. She amazes me constantly and sleeps through the night. That’s pretty solid in my book.
4. I don’t know what I am doing but I am starting to get the hang of it
I read pregnancy books like a fiend but not a single parenting book until Lucy was almost 2 months old. Kinda a fail on my part but now we Google like old pros.
5. I haven’t turned into someone I hate
Of all the things I was scared of, this was the biggest one. I was afraid I would turn into a mom-beast that wouldn’t be able to hold a conversation. I haven’t. I am pretty much the same but more powerful because there are two of me (muh-ha-ha).
6. I now know what busy means
It’s crazy being a working mom but thanks to my awesome mother in law, it’s been an easier transition than I thought it would be. I have to plan ahead, schedule weeks in advance and shop online but life still happens.
Thus far, it’s been really great and I wouldn’t change a thing.
Black swan bitches!
