Life before Maisey.
Nope, I don't believe you. Did that really exist? What did I do with all my free time? I HAD free time? You've got to be kidding me!
1 day short of 3 weeks old and I am amazed at how life has been abruptly flipped over (and spun around a few times) all for a mini human that wees on you, vomits on you and cries when it wants something. You're not bad Maisey. But I wouldn't ever want life now to be any other way. Am I crazy? Most likely. But that may also be all the pregnancy hormones that are still tormenting my body. Thanks Maisey, and you're welcome.
They don't tell you all the little things that are the hardest on bringing a little one home. Where's that book they speak of? Oh that's right. It doesn't bloody exist. Someone seriously needs to get onto that- they'd be instant billionaires! Us Mumma's want one, and we want it NOW!
But in all seriousness, life before Maisey was all smooth sailing. Pregnancy for me was all smooth sailing (I'm super blessed, I know). My social life, my mental state (somewhat), my relationship and friendships, and my daily life was all smooth sailing until our little Lady decided to crash the pool party and change up all our plans. Yes we love her, and yes we knew this is exactly what she'd do, but we didn't know she'd rock our ship the way she has. There's only been a handful of hard hitting waves and compared to some of the horror stories I hear, we have an angel. But we don't yet know any different, so our waters are still unsettled. We'd not have it any other way, but that doesn't mean it's hard. Some days (okay most days) ... (okay, EVERY day) there is a point where I think I am drowning, but then I get a glimpse of her little face and those bloody chubby cheeks (they get me every time!) and I lift my head back above the water and keep floating. I don't have any other option.
I'll be the first to admit that honesty is the best policy and that you need to trust the universe in guiding you through situations and tough times. All for you to look back and say "oh, see body? You got through. Like every other time. Have a pat on the back." And I know it's only been 3 weeks, but I'm still waiting for my first momentous pat on the back. I hope it's coming soon cause this Mumma business is HARD work. I love ya Mais, but you're so much hard work. Seriously lovingly, glorious hard work. Lucky you're cute.
