I love my eye scratching, arm waving, finger munching, plastic licking, grass eating, milk spitting, squash swallowing, cozy snuggling, toe grabbing sweet pea. Every day my heart becomes fuller - I didn't know that I was capable of such an emotion. I know people do crazy things for love - I know understand. I am one of those people.
I just sit and daydream about what her life is going to be like, and how determined I am to give her all the opportunities she deserves. I think about what she is going to look like, and how all the things we her doing now are shaping her into who she will be.
I admit, the rest of my life has almost been put on hold. She is like an addiction. I'm almost indifferent to all the other things that are going on in my life. I see now that I'm no longer working on making myself a better person. Right now I'm "mom" but I'm having a hard time being "wife" and "friend". Any advice for a new mommy on how to be a better partner?
I didn't understand what people meant when they told me that nothing could prepare me for life with a baby. This little life has taken over our own lives. Sometimes I feel like we've lost one another. I'm not trying to be dramatic, I'm just saying that I don't think we baby-proofed our marriage.

Oh, and one more thing. You remember those goals I posted about awhile back? One of them was to loose 10 pounds by Thanksgiving and another 10 by Easter. Well, I've gotten a solid 8 off so far. Making progress :)
