The Blessings of Other Mothers

I have about 15 minutes (I think/hope) before another feeding, and actually thought I had time to log in and submit a post. Sorry the posts are fewer these days, both Kim and I are adjusting. And quite frankly, a nice hot shower for me sounds better than a post to a blog. :)

There is really nothing major to report, but I wanted to get something out on the blog for everyone that checks periodically. Hopefully tomorrow (or this weekend) I will get a small blurb up about her weigh-in, which is tomorrow afternoon.

I just want to say that one thing this has taught me is that I am fortunate to have so many friends that are already moms. Staying at home and going through the confusion of new motherhood has been fun in that I get to call, and get calls, from other mothers and I get to hear how they endured these early days, what their kids did to them, etc. It's really a great bonding experience for me with my other "mom" friends - a part of a relationship I never had with them before (because seriously, you can't even imagine what they are talking about until you experience it first or second hand).

So, I am very grateful for my friends and family that continually help me through this time. I think it's getting better. At least my attitude is as I've realized my life is no longer my own and I am at the total beckon call of a precious little creature. And the highlight of my day is now if I get to shower!! :)
