This Thing Called Motherhood
Motherhood is…
Falling in love with baby from the very beginning…
Getting excited over a diaper bag (who knew they could be so exciting?!)…
Meeting for the very first time…
Telling your dad you named your son after him & crying when you did it…
Bringing Baby home & being nervous about how to take care of him…
Dressing Baby in style (hello Ralph Lauren)…
Multitasking…
Introducing Baby to his great-grandmother…
Loving it when he’s asleep…
Celebrating Holidays…
Documenting Every.Single.Thing (like First Snows…)
And the First time he eats solid foods…
Motherhood is…
Telling them “No!”, even when they don’t like it & neither do you, but knowing it’s for the best…
Constant Cleaning…
Introducing them to a bigger world through books & learning…even if they just chew on them!
Motherhood is…
Precious!
Wishing you a Happy Mother’s Day Weekend! I’m glad to be a part of the “Motherhood!”

Debbi says
Oh, I love all the pictures! Don't you hate having to tell them no? We felt the same way when we brought our baby home. It was like oh my gosh, we are responsible for keeping him alive. Turns out it all comes pretty naturally, doesn't it? 🙂 Happy mother's day!
Laura@Cowboy Boots says
omg that was soooo stinkin sweet! and all so true!
i have to agree…what is it about diaper bags that make us get all giddy? i guess b/c it's a really big purse that shouts the one word we love about us "MOMMY"
happy mother's day friend!

Thanks Laura! I was so excited when I opened that diaper bag–it was so awesome! I wanted the matching bedding to go with it, but it's Petunia Pickle Bottom–after I saw the prices I said No Thank you! lol
Kate@Mommy Monologues says
It does come pretty naturally–except sometimes it's overwhelming– I always have to tell myself "one minute at a time." Hope you had a great mther's day!
