Since Ive Been a Mom

Ive kind of lost my sense of self. 

I feel like this sweet, little bebe and I are one.

And let me tell you, thats not a bad thing.

She's the sweetest, cutest, funniest, best little baby girl that ever existed.

Granted, I could be a little bias.

For the past two months my days and nights have been filled with butt wiping, bathing, feeding, rocking, bouncing, patting, kissing, washing diapers,swaddling, and lots of conversations that go:

"Hiiiiii Charlottttee! Wow that was a nice, big poopie you just made! I bet that feels better! Good job!"

I never thought I would find myself cheering a baby on while she pooped, but here I am doing just that!

Ive also lost my memory.

I started dishes and then the baby woke up...so of course I left the water running.

I forget just about everything that isnt Charlotte related.

That includes laundry.

I refused to acknowledge the growing pile of laundry in our room until Zach said to Charlotte

"Wow Charlottie, your laundry gets done everyday."

So I decided it was time to get started on it.

Three days later and Im finally beginning to emerge from the dirty laundry abyss that was supposed to be our dining area.

And I still have probably 2 loads left....ughhh.

Holy crow and Im still a student?!

That one totally slipped my mind...for two months.

Im supposed to be a certified paralegal by next month and I still have two classes to complete.

One called "Using Computers in the Law Office" which consists of that 1000 page book right there that is being overtaken by our abominable laundry monster.

I thought that was just going to be about learning different computer programs but noooo it breaks down what a computer is...literally and I think I could rebuild a computer by now.

Not only have I learned about all the things inside the computer that make it run but Ive learned about gigahertz, main memory, cache memory, optical character recognition, imaging, and what ROM and RAM actually mean.

Im only on chapter three...

Yikes.

Thankfully, my in-laws are angels sent from the Lord that watched the baby for us so we could go out on a date-twice.

Although it can be very easy to become overwhelmed by all that life consists of at the moment, Ive learned that it is so important to take time for each other.

And to have fun-

Which may include sleeping baby acrobatics...

(no one lose their lunch-I promise Zach is holding her. I just took the pic so it didn't look like it)

and dancing like a couple of freaks in our living room.

(that could possibly be me attempting the robot)

Happy Thursday!
