Am I Really Cut Out For This?

Who asked themself that a million times over the past few weeks?
-me-
Who felt like they had no idea what they were doing?
-me-
Who felt like they didn't know how to meet their baby's needs?
-me-
Who called their husband in tears while he was at work?
-me-
Who didn't bathe their baby for 2 days?
-me-
Who didn't bathe themself for 3 (yes, 3 days)?
-me-
Who just wanted to beat their head against a wall?
-me-
Who looked at this precious boy & realized all is right in the world & this too shall pass?
-me-

  1. By admitting all this, you are a fantastic mom! What's more your sacrifices (3 days no shower!!) prove it. We've all been there.

  3. I think a good mom can admit when she's overwhelmed. You're doing great and your little boy is beautiful.

  4. I echo what's been said above - YES, you are, and you are an awesome mom who has been specifically and purposefully chosen to be Palmer's mommy.

  5. Without a doubt you are cut out for motherhood. Pap and I ditto the fact that you are an awesome Mother and Mike is an swesome Father. I told you a long time ago that you and Mike were going to be wonderful parents because of the way the two of you have trained Jake and Lucy. We are so proud to be your parents and Palmer's Dan and Pap.

    Love, Mom and Dad
