thoughts on change

I've been a mom now for 8 glorious months and yes many things have changed. For example,

There isn't a moment of silence.

 We have baby stuff everywhere.

I haven't really gone out.

We have to schedule sex.

Didn't have any real goals.

Friends are scarce.

Rarely shower alone..(Meaning I take showers w/ babe or he's sitting right in his rocker waiting for mom)

Babies really do change so much. My husband & I had a hard time adjusting. We kinda obsessed over everything, we fought so much in the beginning.Now we have a good rhythm. Babies are truly a blessing, and I thank god I have a supportive partner that allows me to go a little crazy sometimes. From my list of changes,you can see that we don't have it that hard.Our changes haven't been so drastic since we we're always the "old couple". We rarely partied, we mainly enjoyed a good game night with friends.I don't even think the hubs has ever seen me a little drunk. I never thought motherhood would  come so easy to me. Obviously life overall is challenging, and we have good & bad days. But we are managing well and are trying to raise a well rounded individual. Can I say that I have the "mom gene".? growing up I never had a mother figure I admired and hoped to be one day.I love my mother, she did the best she could but she could have done better. It isn't her fault, marrying young and having kids young without knowing who you are is hard. She spend most of her 20's & early 30's searching for herself. While trying to mother 4 under 8. I love her to pieces, Lucas has a great Grandma. We actually have some jealousy from my siblings, because of the amazing grandma she is. I hope she continues to be that amazing grandma, as a mom she's getting there. I hope that I continue to work on myself as a mom & person. I will try to not loose myself in motherhood because it's extremely easy thing to do. I think I will take my list and see if I can fix or manage some stuff. Going to the store alone will come the easiest because I hate taking him in and out for quick errands. I love the fact that there isn't any silence, baby boy's laughter is priceless.
