New

I finally had the baby on February 15th. It was one hell of an experience. I'll leave it that.
She is so beautiful and it is actually fun taking care of her. One thing that I am mystified by is how easy it is for me to now refer to myself as mommy... I never thought I would be a mom or be known as that, yet my inner self has come to terms with it rather quickly.
It's also weird when other people, who have had several kids themselves, are holding her but give her right back to me as soon as she fusses. They say, 'oh back to mommy'. I always expect them to know more than me, but when it comes to my daughter they know that I am who she wants. I feel like an intern who is finally given a real job...
She is 4 weeks old now and growing so fast. I really can't believe how fast time is going by. Probably has something to do with the fact that it takes so long to feed, change and put her to sleep, that by the time I am done everything she is awake again and we start the whole process all over. She has always been good at sleeping at night though. So I am grateful for that. Still exhausted, but grateful.
She is such a pretty baby, of course I am biased, but I haven't noticed anyone cringing when they see her.
So that's it for my short break. Back to being a mommy.
Still the same old me, but now with added parental responsibility.
