Savor
Yesterday morning my mom called, and as we were wrapping up our conversation she said "Oh, I just have to tell you! My heart just MELTED yesterday! When I was holding Penny and she saw you come out with your shoes on and thought you were leaving, when she just lunged at you and grabbed onto you, it just melted my heart! I know sometimes it's hard for you that she always wants you, but as a mom, you WANT your kids to WANT you!" That was SUCH a good reminder for me to savor every hug, kiss, cuddle and moment with my daughter. Whether she just threw her milk cup on the floor for the tenth time, or gave me a big wet kiss for the tenth time. Savor.

Above water yet?
My beautiful daugher was born April 12, 2012, so yes, over a year ago. And I am JUST starting to feel like I am getting my head above water! Can any of you other first time (or any # time) mommies relate? I honestly do not know how some of you do this with multiples, it is all I can do to handle 1 child right now! :) I love her to death, I would do anything for her!
The biggest and best advice I was given prior to becoming a mommy was "give yourself grace." Don't be too hard on yourself, for ANYthing! And I have had to remind myself of this MANY times in the last 13 months. SO many things that have not been perfectly how I wanted them, and I have had to give myself grace, not be so hard on myself, and make my expectations realistic for me and my situation. It was NOT easy to do, but with practice I have gotten better at setting realistic expectations for myself.
As I type this, my kitchen is a mess, my dining room table is piled high with things that need to be put away, and there are toys strewn all over the living room floor. But my daughter is asleep so the few things that I can do while she is sleeping must be done first, including doing anything on the computer, so here I write!
Now, she will not be asleep for long, so I must move on with my day. Here's to many more Dazed Mommy posts!
Have a BEAUTIFUL day!
