I forgot to include Mother's Day. And I am actually excited to post about the day because, 1. Paul made me the most amazing ice cream cake dessert and 2. I actually love this picture of Beckett and I on our first Mother's Day together.
It has been quite the transition to 3. My friend sent me the following quote which I really relate to now:
"When you find yourself locked in the bathroom sobbing on the floor because you've just had enough, that does mean you have failed as a mother. Being a mother is hard, that is not failure, that is fact. Remind yourself of that."
I have definitely had a few melt downs and days where I wonder what happened to my simpler, cleaner life. My mantra has become, "This is not my life forever." While there are things I love about the baby phase, it is a hard year in general for me. Sometimes I find myself wishing away these days with little ones. I'm sure I'll miss certain aspects of these days, but man are they exhausting at times. I am pretty grateful we lucked out and got these 3 cute kids and that I am lucky enough to be called Mom.
