Mommy
How Does Mommy Feel?
Overwhelmed ~ She's almost 18 months old!!!
Unprepared ~ We weren't expecting Arabella for another 3 weeks so I'm definitely feeling unprepared. I'm not 100% sure that would have went away if she was 3 weeks late either. I guess Josh was right when we said that he wouldn't be ready even when the baby was born.
Nervous ~ It's our first baby and my mom's a half hour away and his is three hours away. It's up to us to take care of her and know what's going on well enough to ask the right questions to get some advise as to what to try to make her feel better.
Happy ~ I'm really glad that she is healthy. She seems to be pretty strong for only being a few days old. On December 5th, we put her on her tummy on the floor and she actually turned her head a few times and lifted her head in an attempt to look at Josh in front of her. She even scooted half way up her blanket.
Thinner ~ I haven't been able to shave or put on socks without trying to contort myself into a weird position to get around my belly. After Arabella was born, I was really surprised to see, or rather not see, my stomach past my chest.
