Reflections of the Last Month

Well being a Mom has definitely changed my life.

A few things I think of when I look back...

The ocean, flowers and an overflowing plate of crablegs used to fit the term Beautiful. Then I saw Minka smile.

I once thought a commercial break took Forever in the middle of my favorite TV show.  Then I was told to wait in the pediatricians office with a naked, hungry two week old baby underneath the air conditioner vent.

When I found out our new city doesn't have a Qdoba restaurant, I was Heartbroken.  Then I saw Minka's first tears.

I used to be bummed when I only got 7 hours of sleep at night.  Last night I woke up at 2 AM and was Excited to stay awake for 2 hours hearing silence from Minka's crib.

I thought moving out of my parents house, earning a Bachelor's degree, getting married, moving across the country and finding a full time job were big Accomplishments. Then I got Minka to stop crying.

It has only been a month and she has already taught me so much about life. I have loved every bit of it and am so excited to share my life with my new best friend.

And I thought I was going to be doing the teaching around here...silly me.
