Oh My, Oh My. The day that started all of this Mommy business for me....
On October 8th 2005 I gave birth for the first time. Faith! Finally here. Oh my word........now what do I do? I get to take that baby home? What did i do?
I remember the first night home from the hospital, My hubby was passed out in our bed, but there was no way I could sleep. I am now so parinoid that my baby is going to die of SIDS, or cry or need me all I can do is stare at her and pray the I don't nod off.
I did. I nodded off. I had her in my arms, and I fell asleep in the rocking chair, and I dropped her... The first horrible thing I could do as a Mom and I did it. I dropped my newborn baby, and guess what? She was fine.
It must have been exactly then that I realized that the more I try to control everything, the less control I actually have. so, I put her in her bed and went to sleep. I woke again in 2 hours to feed her, and that's that. welcome to motherhood.
