Realizations of Motherhood

I'm now officially 14 weeks into motherhood. Which I feel qualifies me to enter into a little introspection. So in the spirit of Letterman (bless his naughty soul), here are my top 10 Realizations of Motherhood.

#10: You really do think your baby is the cutest kid you've ever seen.

#9: I married the right man. Not that I ever doubted this, but it's just even more solidified.

#8: Nothing is more beautiful than the sound of your baby laughing. Or the sight of him smiling.

#7: Spit-up really isn't as gross when it's your own baby. This is an answer to prayer.

#6: That thing about no sleep? It's true. Really, really true.

#5: When you are running on no sleep, you do weird things, like naming a blog Bling Bling.

#4: Sacrifices don't really feel like sacrifices when it's for someone you love so deeply.

#3: Whether for joy, exhaustion, or frustration, daily tears are just part of being a newborn's mom.

#2: The baby talk is unavoidable. You can try to resist, but it never lasts long.

And the #1 Realization of Motherhood....God's handiwork is just so breathtaking. What an honor to know that He formed and created Dean and has entrusted us to raise him.

I feel like the luckiest woman alive. :)
