Already?? I can't believe that three weeks have gone by since little Olivia came into our world. Today is the first day that her and I have been home alone. My Mum and Dad had been here the first week we were home. In between visitors Pat was home with us on Paternity Leave. He went back to work yesterday and his mom flew back to Texas this morning. It's been pretty quiet. I feel like she's nursing more than usual, but we're doing ok. I even finished loading the dishwasher and got it running. I feel very accomplished for a new mommy. And I can't help but wonder...what did I do before this little girl was here?!
I can't even remember or imagine what life was like before Olivia. I still have all the memories of working and going out with my friends. But now that she's here, it seems like she was always meant to be. As scared as I was when I found out that I was becoming a mommy, this feels right. Even when she's crying and breaking my heart and I can't quite figure out how to comfort her, I know that it's right where I am supposed to be. We've all got to walk before we run, and right now I'm lying right next to Olivia, flailing my arms and legs, but I am confident that I will soon be off and running with that precious little baby on my hip the whole way.
