2 months

Every week, my baby gets older & I fall even more in love. In the past month, I have watched my baby grow in leaps a bounds. Not only has he started physically growing with the little rolls appearing all over his little body but he has started showing his little personality. 

In this past month, he has started giving back smiles to all of the singing, cooing, and standing on my head that I have been doing. Mornings are my favorite. It seems that's when he is the happiest. We do lots of playing & talking in the morning. He makes the long a, long i, and short a sounds-- I think every sound is him saying, "I love you, mommy". (Sorry, the teacher in me can't help but notice the sounds) 

He is becoming so aware of people and his surroundings. It's amazing to watch his little mind work. Sometimes, he will grab on to something & the look at like, "I didn't mean to grab it-- what do I do with it now?" That look gets me everytime. I can't wait to see how he continues to grow in the next few weeks. I will be sad when I have to go back to work--These weeks at home with him have been amazing.

Finding a balance

Pure admiration is the only way to describe how I view other moms who have it "together".  The ones who are taking their newborn babies on walks everyday, doing baby yoga, hanging out with their friends/family, and carrying on with their lives even with a new baby. These women are Gods--& I love (hate) them.

For the past 7 weeks, I feel that I eat, sleep, & live baby. Everyday is a juggling act of being mommy to my son, wife to my husband, homemaker, teacher, friend, & a "good" family member. (Throw work into this mix in a month) It seems impossible. I am failing--when I make one a priority another hinders. Feelings get hurt, people get upset. I look around and my house is a complete disaster. I look at myself & see a hot mess. Where is the harmony?

Kudos to all the Super-hero moms out there who have this figured out. Please give this mommy some tips.:)
