I Love My Life!

(London 11 Days)

Everyday my Mom calls me and asks how we are doing.  I always say, “We’re good.”  The other day she said, “You always say you’re good.  You never complain” but the truth is, it doesn’t get any better than this.  I feel so blessed to be the mother of the two most amazing little girls in the whole world, but I got thinking, maybe my Mom is right.  Shouldn’t I be feeling just a little bit postpartum?  Shouldn’t I resent the fact that I rarely get more than one hour of sleep at a time?  Shouldn’t I be feeling just a little bit stressed and overwhelmed?  Shouldn’t I feel exhausted in the middle of the night when I can’t get my baby to stop crying? I don’t feel any of those things.  I just hug and kiss them every chance I get, even if it is in the middle of the night. I’m not sure it’s normal to feel this great after having a baby.  I can’t get enough of my girls and I’m sure Dustin is wondering what has gotten into me, I can’t get enough of him either.  Love my little family, I’m just really really happy, that’s all. 

Ok, maybe I am feeling just a little postpartum because the other night when Brinley was asleep I climbed in bed with her, put my arms around her, told her how much I loved her and that I was sorry if the changes were hard for her.  I thought she was asleep until she told me it was ok.  so, I just talked to her and told her how I felt and she said, "Mom, why are you whispering?" and I told her because it was really late and she said, "Yeah Mom, so you need to go to bed!"
