I'm pleased to report that Brett Miller & I are actually amazing parents.
When people tell you all that crap about how when your child is born you parenting instinct will kick in.
It's not crap.
It's fact.
As soon as his little life on the outside started I was reborn, I become a mother.
The feeling is inexplicable & undoubtedly the most amazing thing I've ever done.
There's no room for selfishness.
There's no time to second guess yourself.
You just act.. selflessly for your child.
I'm smitten.
The first month of being parents has been filled with laughs, tears, lessons learned, and sleepless nights. I have to admit that I have been pee'd and poop'ed on almost daily. Sadly, I found a brown stain on my shirt at the end of a long Mommy day yesterday... It obviously had been there for a while ( awesome, so I was too busy being a mommy to even see it ) trying to figure out what it is from looking at it is impossible ( but like I mentioned it was brown ) and you absolutely refuse to taste it so that leaves you nothing else but to smell it. I don't have to finish the story, I'm sure you all can figure out what the verdict was.
- I've witnessed our child projectile poop off the side of the bed.
- I've come across a diaper so full of poo that he was covered from front to back & we had NO choice but to hold him over the sink so we could hose him down.
- I've been soaked in pee, Brett's been soaked in pee, Eli came to visit & got soaked in pee.
- I used to be squeamish about baby throw up, now that I wear baby throw up as an accessory I am numb to it.. bring on the baby puke!
Brett and I had the opportunity to have our first night out this weekend.
Needless to say I got white girl wasted & ended up dancing on the stage of the bar we went to. You'd think that after becoming a mother there would be things that I would grow out of but stage dancing apparently is not one of them - Go figure. I missed our Little Prince SO much while we were out but I fought the urge to bother my mother in law with "check in" texts every 15 minutes & really let myself go for the night. Moral of the story, minor hang over as a mommy = NO BUENO!
My maternity leave is drawing to an end - I go back to work on the 27th & the little man will start @ the Gateway Academy. As we get closer I start to already get more & more jealous of the women that will get to spend the entire day with my little boy... I also have been trying to think of what I'll decorate his crib @ the Daycare with, but that's neither here nor there.
I find my favorite past time these days is staring at my kid sleeping ( stalker status I know ). I have never enjoyed a hot shower so much in my entire life. I was able to operate on 3 hours of sleep during my go go party barbie days but I have to say I dominate on 3 hours of sleep as New Mommy :)
On that note ... He's sleeping ... Time to stare at him! Until next nap time Blog Buddies!
