one week

I can hardly believe it has been a week since we left the hospital with our Little Miss Vieve. Our darling girl has stolen our hearts and we melt at her sweetness. I don't think anyone could prepare us for the incredible attachment that comes with being a parent. It took me a good week to look at her or even speak about her without bursting into tears of wonder and gratitude. Being a mother has not taken the course I thought it would, from the moment I held her right as she entered this world I was so overcome. I thought it would take time and I feared bonding with my baby, but one look was all I needed. Brent and I say that was truly love at first sight.

The great news in my book is that the pregnancy is over and now I feel like a real person, or at least like me again. I was beginning to forget who that person was. After so many weeks of ridiculously high hormones and riding the never ending emotional roller coaster I am finally glad to be climbing off that horrible ride. I have never been one for coasters anyway..

I love that I can do things for myself now, like picking things up off the floor and tidy my house. I love being able to do things for my husband and give him a break because he works so hard for us. Heaven knows that man deserves a break after dealing with me pregnant. :-)
