Motherhood

Well hello blogland! I thought the day would never come, but here I am...my first blog entry. Tim has ever so politely suggested over the past few months that I write something, and I always looked at him like he was crazy. Write something??? I didn't even have time to make myself a sandwich, let alone contribute to this blog he created. Was he crazy?

Fast forward to now, and there's a 7 month old baby napping peacefully in her crib, I have a few moments to share some thoughts with you, and then....I'll go make myself a sandwich. Can you believe it? I hardly can. I always new motherhood would be an adventure, but little did I know how fast the adventure would unfold. Was it really 6 months ago that Sophie looked up at me and smiled for the first time? Oh how much unparalleled joy I felt in that one single moment. Has it truly been months since we've had to bounce on that darn yoga ball to help her to stop crying in the evening? My how our backs ached from the bouncing. So much has happened so quickly, and our little girl is.....yes, growing up. Can we please stop the clocks for just a little while? This stage is so much fun, and she is quite incredible, adorable and lovely. But stopping the clocks would mean postponing all the wonderful things that are ahead of us, and I know there will be many.

While I would love to write more, some of those annoying but necessary household duties are calling and Sophie's bound to wake up here sometime soon. You mothers out there will most likely agree with me....when the baby's napping, the clock moves so much quicker! Oh yes, and that sandwich I talked about...that's on the to-do list as well. Sandwiches are so much easier to assemble with two hands instead of one.

Until next time - or next "nap time" :)
