Day One (well…partial day) of Mom Life:

 Day One (well…partial day) of Mom Life:

I’ve officially been a mama for just a few hours and let me tell you—what a ride already. 🍼🐾

Pippin is wiped out from all the excitement, baby girl is sleeping soundly, and I’m covered in a unique combination of formula, drool, and who-knows-what else. I’ve been up since 0300 because I was just too excited to sleep, and honestly? I still can’t believe this is real.

She may be four months old, but she feels like she’s going on one! She holds her head like a champ, follows people and objects, can almost sit up on her own, and rocks tummy time with long stretches of holding that adorable little noggin high. She’s blowing raspberries like it’s her full-time job, and she absolutely adores Pippin. The feeling is mutual. 🐶💕

She smiles easily, “talks” nonstop, and has already completely stolen my heart.

Also, fun fact: three women of above-average intelligence have now stared at her car seat for an embarrassing amount of time… and we still can’t figure out how to adjust the straps to save our lives. They will NOT stay the right length. So for now—I’m housebound until we win the car seat battle. UGH. 🚗😅

Today has already taught me so much—but maybe the biggest lesson? Mad respect for single parents. I actually caught myself saying, “If I had a partner, this would be so much easier.” Whew. You all are superheroes.

Feeling grateful. Feeling tired. Feeling so, so blessed. ❤️
