Regardless of that bitterness, there was some sweetness this week too! Here goes the best moments of the week:
1) I'm not going to say much about it because you'll be reading in detail about both the company and what we went with in a future post, but our custom-made diaper bag finally arrived! More to come on what goes on behind the scenes at this AMAZING company, but here's a sneak peek of next Monday's Mommy Monday post:
2) Since it was mom's last week here, Kirk and I escaped to what may be our last date night for a good while. We managed to get a few glasses of champagne and a great meal in at Taverna! Ahhh, an adult meal. That I ate while it was warm. Without a baby in my lap. Awesome.
3) I also made a point to head out to a yoga class while I still had someone to watch Henry. Of course I went with one of the studio's most challenging instructors. And of course I thought to myself, "WHOA, where did my abs go and why can't I do this anymore?!" Oh well. It will come back eventually, right?
4) If you follow me on Instagram, you've seen that my mom was able to capture this family moment. I think this might actually be the first picture of all three of us together! We're just missing the dogs to make it a complete family pic.
5) THIS HuffPost piece. In a market saturated with "15 Signs You're..." "Top 5 Things Nobody Tells You About..." and on an on, this is the first "list" piece that nails it, that actually puts into words why being a new mom is so damn hard. As someone who has been told "it's hard, but sooooo worth it" from friends, family members, sorority sisters - you name it - number one is especially true for me. I asked myself the question in number one several times this week alone (but instead of wanting a sugary drink, I've wanted to be back in Carmel, CA with Kirk, hiking Big Sur and drinking insane amounts of wine).
We're at the halfway point in our dreaded Fourth Trimester and I am sooooo ready for it to be over, and to sleep for more than two hours at a time at night again. But I'm also crying at every piece of clothing Henry outgrows, packing it away to maybe, one day, see it again. Becoming a mama has been one heck of a jarring experience, full of both the very BEST, rewarding and sweet moments of my life, and some of the most exhausting, draining, and bizarre moments. This article really does a wonderful job putting it into words, and it's great to know I'm not alone in all my crazy (sleep deprived) thinking! It was a great piece to run across this week.
That's all, folks! I hope you all have great plans for the weekend. Now go spend the rest of your workday, or lunch hour, or maybe even your Friday night if you're sans-plans checking out these other great blogs!
Following you on Insta now girl! That picture melted my heart so sweet!
ReplyDeleteYay! Right back at ya, girl! But if I see any PSL pics, I'm out! 😜 xoxo
DeleteCute! I have also seen your post other day for diaper bags. Can you let me know that from where you got that? Because I need one for myself. As these days I am busy in finding online thesis writing service for my PhD thesis. So, just let me know that this will be great help. Well your baby is very cute.
ReplyDeleteThe family picture you shared in this blog is simply amazing. Your baby is so cute. I am working as an academic writer and provides best dissertation writing to students. Yes, most of us can relate to your story. Being a mom to a new baby can be hard. If your baby cries all the time or won't sleep, parenting is even harder.
ReplyDeleteWell, I just took a short break from phd dissertation writing services and came across your blog. First, I must say that your family picture is adorable. Do let me know that from where you got that bag? It's a nice one, and I also want to purchase this kind of baby bag for my daughter.
