A bit of honesty
...I have to say that sometimes I really do feel like I'm going to go nuts. How in the world did I not know how time consuming, demanding, irritating, and tiring motherhood could be. And why do I feel like sometimes I'm the only one who thinks that way. I have about a half a dozen friends who are also mothers and I NEVER hear them complain. I feel like I complain all the time. Either it's my lack of sleep, or still having to share a bed, the whining, the crying every time I must change a diaper- on mornings like these I wish I could just walk away. One child will be enough for me, thanks. And I hope I'm not coming off as insensitive or irrational- but I just can't see how some women go through this two or three more times. I've heard the old "Oh, you'll forget. By the time the first turns 2 you'll be wanting another." PLEASE DON'T LET ME FORGET!! Seriously, one is enough!!

Oh Suz...yup, motherhood is hard work. But everytime that baby boy smiles and laughs and coos at you - doesn't your heart grow bigger? Could you ever have imagined how quickly and how deeply you can love another human being? He's a miniature human who needs alot of care right now. Believe me...it gets easier. Take it one day at a time...and take a nap! (Remember how Gramma B loved her naps? :) I love you - you are doing a terrific job!
