New Mama

4 Week old Samuel Mekhi

Samuel at 6 weeks

Being a Mama is not easy.  How women manage to do this AND work full time is beyond me.  I have all I can do to make sure I eat, Samuel eats and we both get good naps!  I also have to make the all important choice of what to do when he IS napping.  Clean, cook, dishes, laundry, EAT?  

 I was not warned how hard the first few weeks of taking care of my little one would be... I actually thought I might hate being a mama...  I felt terrible because I thought that I didn't love him and I kind of wondered what in the world was wrong with me!  Bobby (my husband) was in love right away.  In fact, he on DAY ONE volunteered me to have as many as I could pop out! Sheesh.  Let me tell all husbands out there... NOT the best thing to say right after your wife just experienced the worse pain of her entire life.  After nearly 7 weeks I still shutter at the remembrance of my sons entrance into this world.  MY first words after giving birth were "who in their right mind has more then one baby?"  I guess there are allot of women not in there right minds, my mom included...she had 9.  :)

I am however here to testify  it does get better and more enjoyable as time goes on.  Today Samuel during our "talking session"  kicked all limbs and let out a yell of excitement  while he tried to out smile his face!  This new development nearly slayed me and made my morning the best EVER!  He is already such a little person with character and a unique self.  I am still trying to get over the fact that he was not here 6 1/2 weeks ago and now he is a huge part of our lives.  Truly this is an amazing act of The Lord.
