Motherhood is:

exhausting

 burn out, disable,enfeeble,fatigue, frazzle, overexert, poop out, run ragged,tucker out.

I love my baby boy but who knew that diapers,feedings,and all his little cooing could burn you out so quickly. I have a new respect for mommys all over the world. I have been very lucky though because my son has been a very good sleeper since day one! This is what I think or have thought about the exhausting parts of motherhood:

1. I have learned to nap when he naps. I always try to get things done instead of fully taking advantage of this down time and trust me it catches up quickly.

2. You will at some point just stare at him in amazement at how peaceful they can sleep and in this "if i were staring at anything but my child this long it would be creepy moment" you will realize that all the sleepy moments are worth it.

3. Baby yawns have got to be one of the cutest things in the world!!!

4. I bet he is more exhausted than I am...he was curled up inside me swimming for 9 months!

5. I have learned that because of the sheer exhaustion being a mommy can take on your body...water does a body good.

 Motherhood is:

beautiful

admirable,angelic,classy,charming,elegant,exquisite,gorgeous,lovely.

I had always heard that you will look and feel exhausted after labor. I heard that I would feel anything but beautiful. In all honesty I never felt more beautiful! I was beautiful because of several things:

1. I had just given birth to a healthy beautiful baby boy.

2. I had the strength to withstand 6 hours of pain at home going from a 0 to 7 without any medicine.

3. I had endured 9 months of severe illness to finally see the miracle that was bestowed upon me.

4. After my epidural I was able to apply my make-up up and my eyelashes have never looked better.

5. I was holding the little boy that I knew would forever change my life...and that was simply beautiful.
