looking back

I spent a few minutes looking back at the posts I wrote just before and just after finding out I was pregnant with Christian, and am amazed this process happened! I mean, what are the odds! It’s really been a joyful experience (colicky, cranky 1 month old, nonwithstanding).  From pregnancy to the babymoon at home with newborn, it’s been such a journey.

I think I’m ready to just be a mama and not be an expectant mama anymore. I’ve finally gotten him quiet and secure in the Ergo (infant insert) and now I’m off to see about that pile of laundry I’ve been slowly poking at for about two hours. We slept in today so I don’t need a nap, but I do need to get some things done. Laundry, for one. Prepping a pattern, for two.

It’s been everything I wanted from the beginning – joyful, full term, happy pregnancy. A beautiful, intense, fast birth with the gentle nurturing of baby following, just like I wanted him to have. Coming home after just a day and a half. Settling in to a quiet routine just the two of us (during the day and at night at least). Now I’m able to get out – and am doing a little bit each day to see friends, schedule appointments and run errands. I’m getting ready to sew again.

Looking ahead? Not quite ready for that today….
