Way back when Fallon was a fresh little newborn I wrote a post with my thoughts on motherhood in that season of life. I reread that post this morning as I was reflecting on that time and thinking about how we will be there again in mere weeks. So I thought it would be fun to do a little part II as a raw motherhood post is a bit overdue.
This whole mom thing
Is still HARD. And EXHAUSTING. And absolutely freaking AMAZING.
Is up before the sun and long after it's gone down
Is all the tantrums and all the eskimo kisses
Is caffeine, crumbs and clothes thrown out of every drawer
Is too much Mickey Mouse and too little time in the day
Is complete and utter frustration and complete and utter joy
Is finding everything missing from around the house shoved underneath the couch
Is feeling constantly guilty and constantly lucky
Is realizing how easily your toddler can outsmart you
Is snacks all day washed down with mama's drink
Is catching your daughter climbing the furniture, because what else is it good for?
Is appreciating all the #momwins but still stressing over the #momfails
Is cake pops on Target trips and naps in the car
Is blankets, stuffed animals and toys EVERYWHERE
Is thinking you cannot possibly love someone any harder until the next day when you do
Is teething, talking like a big girl and tough days full of tears
Is counting down to bedtime then missing her as she sleeps
Is waiting for daddy to come home by the window and crying when he leaves
Is so many messes and so much love
Is feeling totally helpless one minute and like supermom the next
Is trying not to laugh when you should be disciplining
Is wiping a snotty nose, a poopy butt and crocodile tears
Is public meltdowns and I'm sorry hugs
