I Remember This Feeling….

Babies are such a delight.

Mine is the joy of our days.

He’s cheerful, funny, obedient and silly.

He’s into throwing himself around. He’s just playing, being a boy. He throws himself into the sofa, your lap, the bed. It’s cute.

Until…

This morning we were face to face and he threw his forehead into my nose.

I tell you, I haven’t been the same all day.

You know the feeling….

You’ve all been there……

For just a second you wonder if your nose has been broken. The pain is so bad, but you can’t fuss or cry because he’s just a baby and he’s standing there giggling and delighted with himself that he is having such a good time with Mommy.

But Mommy is older than she used to be.

My recovery time is slower than it was when my first baby was 2 years old.

Headache is the word for the day.

Motherhood is painful.

Motherhood is worth it.
