Soul Mate

If someone had asked me a few years ago if I beleived in soul mates, my answer was easily no. I love my husband, he is an incredible man and we get along so well. We work together so well and we love with all we have. But I didn't beleive people are meant to be together.

Then my daughter was born. I went through 33 amazing hours of labor, 2 hours of pushing followed by the doctor telling me I was going to have to have a c-section in order to bring her into this world. After the surgery the doctor put her in front of my face and introduced me to my baby. Little did he know...no introductions were nessecary. I have know that baby for my whole existance. We looked at eachother and thought "nice to see you again friend, its been a while!".

My daughter was always meant to be mine, and she is my soul mate. So I guess in some way my husband and I were meant to bring her into this world together, lucky for us...we also get along quite well.

Introductions

At 38 weeks pregnant all I could think of was getting my sweet baby girl out of my body so that it could be my own again. Little did I know just how little my body would be mine after she came out. Or how much I'd desperately miss my baby in my belly.

There are so many things no one tells you about being a first time parent. Like there is some kind of secret code that us moms keep, that says you can only share the cute stuff. Like how beautiful they are, how you can not possibly get enough of their smell. Even if you bottled it and carried it around every where it would never be enough. Or how you will work your ass off and act as crazy as you've ever been just to make them smile and when they finally do, it was all worth it. Every bad thing that has ever happened to you to get to that point was worth it in their beautiful smile.

But no one tells you the rest, how you'll get so tired you think you couldn't possibly stay on your feet for one more minute but some how you have to manage another half hour. Or how you will inevitably lose all your friends that do not have children, because no matter how much they think that cute little dog of theirs compares to having a kid, they will just never understand. But like I said, that one smile makes it all worth it in the end.

So, I have always admired those avid bloggers but never felt like had anything interesting to say, so here it is a blog about being a mom...I'm sure there are many of us out there just trying to get our feelings heard because their is no lonelier place in the world than being a new mom.

Welcome to my world.
