Happy Baby

My baby is nearly 6 weeks old and I am finally getting back into the swing of things. I have really learned a lot about myself and mothers in general over these weeks. For one thing, other mothers have always made it look easy taking care of a newborn... I guess they are just waaay better than I am on having absolutely no sleep! Landon got pretty sick when he was 3 weeks old so that really made it difficult since he wasn't eating or sleeping well. This week I was brave enough to run a few errands including taking him to WalMart all by myself. It was scary but what FREEDOM!! :)

To those who are long-time mothers, I just want to say wow, I have so much more respect for you now after experiencing just the start of it! Those who have just become moms - hang in there!! It will get better! Those who are trying or hoping to one day become a mom -- know that reading all the wisdom in all the books in the world still won't prepare you for motherhood. The best wisdom comes from what you learn along the way. And to my Mom- thank you so much for everything. I love you.
