It's Friday morning. The house is quiet. My husband's at work. The kitchen is a mess. There's a huge pile of laundry in the basket and I wonder if I'll even find a moment to shower today. Just getting a chance to eat and drink enough can be a challenge!
You see, I have a one month old. I'm currently lying in bed with her snuggled beside me. Last night I only got at most a total of four hours sleep and it's more or less been like that since she's been born! I'm actually amazed how I'm still able to function on so little sleep.
However, though it's been hard, and honestly parenting a newborn has been more challenging than I had expected, I look at her tiny cute little face beside me, her arm on my stomach and I just think how amazing it is that she is here. That she even exists! I am so grateful that we are now parents which I honestly had been thinking would never happen.
It still feels surreal to me that I'm a mum now! That I have a daughter. I get emotional when I think about it all too much. The nights are long, I never have a moment to myself but babies grow up and one day she won't need me as much. So right now I'm going to relax, enjoy the baby cuddles and cherish this time together.
That last sentence is exactly right, just enjoy this time because she will grow up quickly. These times are definitely hard, I felt like the baby stage was the hardest, but you will get through it just fine :) Congratulations again!
ReplyDeleteyea everyone keeps telling me how crazy fast the time goes! Thanks for the well wishes :)
DeleteAww...it is overwhelming isn’t it! Happy to hear you are doing well and hoping the sleep gets easier!
ReplyDeleteYeah it's been very overwhelming! It's a huge change. Also hoping the sleep gets a bit better but I'm sure it will!
DeleteSoak up every moment! It goes by so fast.
ReplyDeleteYeah I can hardly believe how much she's already grown the past few weeks!
DeleteThe world can definitely wait. Soak up every second! I'm so happy for you.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm so happy for you too! :)
DeleteOh the long nights! They are hard and the days sometimes too, with husband being at work. You are doing great. Enjoy the cuddles with your tiny baby, she will be getting bigger every day 🙂
ReplyDeleteYeah when you are up most of the night then the time can feel quite slow! But then there are other special moments like when you are cuddling with your little one that make up for it! Thanks
DeleteYes, bask in this beautiful moment. It can all wait. :)
ReplyDeleteyea I'm going to appreciate these special moments when I can :)
