Mommyhood



Mommyhood is....

When going to the grocery store is an accomplishment

When taking a shower is done in shifts

When pee and poop comes up in most conversation

When you fall asleep though most movies

When laundry goes from 2 loads to 4 loads

When going to church is quite a big outing

stained shirts and smelling like sour milk

not being able to answer the phone much

constantly planning and scheduling around feedings

snapping baby outfits 2 or 3 times before getting it snapped correctly

cleaning the house with a little one around your neck

starving for adult conversation


Mommyhood is.....

lots and lots of cuddle time and kisses

smelling that sweet little head

enjoying those cues and smiles

having a little one fall asleep on my chest

so hard but so worth it

I remember having some of the same thoughts...a long time ago. You are right...It's all so worth it. And then you get to be a grandparent!
