New Mama Memories

Weeks 12 and 13. Kuda and I took Z on her first long trip. We left Sunday June 25 at 4:30 pm, which was our first mistake! It took us about 8 hours to get to Rhinebeck when it really should have taken 5.5. But, we're on her time now! We stopped a few times to nurse and let out some crying. Eventually we made it around 12:30 a.m. and for some reason, it didn't bother me. You learn that things will be what they will be and you can't control that. It is a lesson I needed to learn so badly! I cannot control anything  anymore. That's not to say that I don't still try.

She has taught me a lot about slowing down and enjoying the little things. I am most surprised that I seem to notice colors more. It is the strangest thing... trees are greener, the sky is bluer (more blue??). Z is still waking up very often. Mama is exhausted and looking forward to even a straight 4 hours of sleep. Right now I get 1-3 hours at a time. Thank God for coffee! At the end of the day the lack of sleep is definitely worth it. I am so in love.
