Things I've learned through motherhood in the past 6 weeks:
1. How much love you can really have for another...and how much it continues to grow each day.
2. How much more you can love your husband with the birth of your child.
3. How thankful I am for a healthy baby
4. How my faith and trust in God has grown beyond belief....he has truely given me the most beautiful gift.
5. How much it means to have a supportive family and friends
6. How much my love for my family has grown, especially my own mother.
7. How much closer I feel to my girlfriends and family who are also mothers, and appreciate them more than ever.
8. How 1-2hrs of sleep can feel so refreshing, and that more than 3 is a miracle at this point.
9. How hard it is for me to imagine my life before Addison
10. You can't really plan for everything
11. You can only read so many books on pregnancy, labor and delivery, and childhood...your child will teach you all that you need.
12. How worry and anxiety are far worse than the reality
13. The beauty of silence.
14. The beauty of a cooing baby
15. How good it feels to take a long shower
16. How amazing it is to see your baby smile at you and know that she is yours
17. How quickly you learn to do things with one hand.
18. How easy it was to leave the house before having a baby, and how hard it can be some days now.
19. The art of breast-feeding.
20. How much I love being a mom
To be continued I'm sure...
