i went to put milo into his cute little onesie that we brought him home from the hospital in and it was a perfect fit. it made me emotional because i remember dressing him in the hospital and it was all baggy on him. i also remember before he was born this was the little onesie that i laid in his crib and imagined him in...... and the same onesie that i laid on lorin's shoulder weeks before milo was here. well..... he's here and now he really fits in this little special onesie as perfectly as he fits into our lives. the onesie says "head in the clouds" in french...... and that's exactly where my head has been.
i'm not going to lie...... this has been one of the most challenging times of my life. as natural as it feels to be a mommy at the same time it is so completely foreign and at times overwhelming. there is so much to learn and so little sleep..... it's enough to make you feel a little less than competent. of course i wouldn't change it for the world. i'm looking forward to all the exciting changes that milo and his parents :) are going to go through this first year. one of the most important things is to cherish every moment of his tiny babydom and to stay mindful of what an incredible blessing it is to be responsible for this life. this is what i will remind myself when i'm needing sleep and milo's needing me. :)
