Just one of those Days...So I choose to write

Well, I don't have much time these days to REALLY write on my blog. I'm also not much of a writer anymore. But, I have really been feeling lots of emotions lately and reflecting about the things I've learned these last 7 months...Where do I begin?

  1. Motherhood is the Hardest Job in the World- that's an obvious one
  2. Husbands...why can't they just figure it out- a "happy wife is a happy life" Love my hubby...but come on- that part is easy. But Husbands need lots of love too.
  3. Working and motherhood- wow! Really tough.
  4. A clean house is important, but really hard to keep up with a 7-month old and getting ready to move.
  5. Life as I knew it will never be the same again. And that's okay.
  6. Fear. Fear takes over all the time...I am so scared of so many things...
  • Jacob's 1st "fall"- hopefully it won't be too hard
  • Crawling- OMG! It is going to happen any day and I am so scared because I am constantly cleaning the floors and combing the carpet to make sure there is nothing he could pick up and put in his mouth- I am so scared of that- so scared of choking- I am thinking about taking a class on what to do just in case...am I crazy? Does anyone else have these fears?
  • The Swine Flu- what would we do?
  • When crawling- what if he pulls at something and it falls down on him- OMG! HELP- I am so worried about this mobility factor. Now I can fully protect him...but whataboutit when he is moving around and I miss something.
  • His 1st Broken Heart
  • 1st time someone is mean to him

***So far so good...I just want to protect him from everything. Life Happens. And that is both exciting and scarey.

Love to all you mothers out there. You are doing a great job.

Whataboutit?!

I feel ya! It's all hard and tough and life changing! Nice to know so many people are going through it at the same time! I worry about her getting hurt constantly, and how she'll be growing up, and this past week with Mike has been a scary one.
Life is short and bumpy, but it's all so worth it!
Kiss that little boy for me before he starts crawling away so fast you can't grab him :)

1st time looking at your blog!!Your baby is little doll.
TAKE HEART WHAT YOU ARE EXPERIENCING IS A "MOTHERS" LOVE.
Sometimes scarry, but the sweetest love there is.

Right there with you Jill! Funny, I think we all think everybody else has it all figured out when really - we're all clueless and freaked out! :)
