Hello Again!

Oh how naive I was to think that I could effortlessly take pictures, blog, work full time, breastfeed, pump, etc, etc daily for the first year of Caleb's life.  Why didn't someone tell me I was setting myself up for failure?  The days turned to weeks, the weeks into months, and now here I sit, with my 6 1/2 month sweetie in the jumperoo and a blog with a sweet baby face from waaaay back in September!  I've decided to get my feet wet and start blogging again.  I am no longer promising a daily photo and post.  Not yet anyway.  But I do want to try to post at least weekly (ish) so that I will have this blog to look back on and give myself time to reflect and click out some thoughts on the keyboard.  Reflecting is good. 

So here are some reflections...

1.) Being a Mama is hard work.  Wear-you-out-and-make-you-pour-coffee-in-a-tall-clear-glass-when-you-meant-to-pour-it-into-a-mug-exhausting.  But it is also overfill-your-heart-until-it-squeezes-tears-outta-your-eyes fulfilling.  I love every second of it.

2.) I am so so very lucky to have a hubby that loves being a Daddy as much as I love being a Mama.  A Daddy that has since taken a squealing babe out of the jumperoo and into the Baby Bjorn, a frequent favorite spot for Caleb.  Man-what would I do without him?

3.) I think that women should have every opportunity available to them that men have.   I think it's great that women are climbing corporate ladders every day.  That they are going to jobs that fulfill them.  I'm not sure I am one of those women...I want more than anything to be a stay at home Mama to my guy.  Afterall, with a face like this who wouldn't want to stay home and play all day?
