Sometimes i think having a newborn was easier than it is having a toddler.
Wait, wait, wait! Before you jump down my throat and call me crazy, let me clarify lol ;)
Being a new mother and being completely unaware and uneducated first hand as well as getting adjusted to our new lifestyle, and not to mention the healing, THAT was hard! But, everything was schedualed after a week or so. Every 3 hours she awoke to eat & be changed. When she wasn't sleeping or eating she was in my arms cuddling or on the floor playing with one of us. But being a small baby, she slept a LOT -- giving me a break in 2-3 hour intervals. Hm, when i put it that way -- that sounds AWESOME! lol (i was blessed with a pretty laid back baby)
Being a mother to a toddler who will be two on the 31st of December is hard. Its exhausting mentally, physically, and emotionally. She's beyond whiney at times, throwing tantrums in public and making you look like a fool (shes good at that), shes clingy (which i dont mind most of the time), i never know when shes truley hungry (because she barely eats EVER!), we're potty training, she's in a toddler bed (which we still struggle with keeping her in), shes opinionated (which isnt always a bad thing), She refuses to sleep some nights, she doesn't take naps anymore, and shes insistant and persistant.
Now, these aren't all bad. There are way more things that i absolutely LOVE about this age! Im just saying, i feel more drained these days then i ever have.
All that being said, I absolutely, 100% love being a mother! Shes has brought a tremendous amount of joy into my life. There's not a day that goes by that im not thankful for every second i get with her. We are blessed beyond belief to have such a healthy, smart, and beautiful little girl.
She's my angel, and lights up my life.
