A Note From Our Author So it finally arrived, Hannah’s three-month birthday. That miraculous turning point when you finally get into a routine, your baby gets into a routine and life gains some sense of normalcy again. I’ve heard so many moms say, “If I could just hibernate for the first ninety days everything would be fine.” Unfortunately, I don’t know many moms who have that luxury. So, after the epidural wore off, my life became a blur of 2 a.m. feedings, three loads of laundry a day, explosive diapers and spit-up on all of my clothes. All while trying to make breakfast, lunch and dinner, shop for birthday presents, finish homework, keep my business running and maybe find ten seconds for a shower for myself. But, after counting down the days, her three-month birthday arrived. Moms, if you haven’t reached this milestone yet I promise you it’s the dawning of a new day! Hannah has become this amazing little person – laughing, cooing and trying her best to roll over. And while the 2 a.m. feedings are still happening, they’ve turned into a magical time that the two of us share. Sometimes I think I can see her changing and growing right before my eyes. My older two now know the routine and really have become big helpers. All of us have come through the three-month adjustment period and lived to tell about it and now we can enjoy the new family dynamic together. The other day, I visited a friend at the maternity ward. I couldn’t believe it was only three months ago that I was there – it seems so long ago. And while I felt a little nostalgic that time is passing so quickly, I know the best is yet to come with my little girl! |
