Paci or no paci. Breast fed or bottle fed. Let her cry it out or not. So many decisions! It has taken a whole month to finally get a teeny bit of confidence in being a momma. Each day a little more adjusted and comfortable with my new normal. We had some rough, emotional days. But I think my hormones are back to normal-ish and I've enjoyed her and my new role more and more.
I thought I would be sad about her turning one month, but I 'm not. I really just want to play and laugh with her! Trying to cherish and not to wish these days away though.
A quick prayer request: getting back in the Word and prioritizing my time with Jesus above all. We just don't have a set schedule yet. These days taking a shower seems more refreshing, so its the first thing I do. And then during her next nap I pick up around the house. Next, exercise. Those are my priorities. It's been a smooth morning if I get food in me by noon. Feeding myself physically and, most importantly, spiritually have not been at the top of my to-dos. Pray for my heart. Love you all! And love you all loving my baby girl.
She is BEE-U-TIFUL...just like her Momma. I'm so proud of you. Whatever you choose to do, you won't "mess her up." Just love her (and know that there are a lot of us right now having to make all the same decisions as you on a daily basis...even if it is my 4th time around the block, it's still not always easy). LOVE you!
