Romanticism

Yep...

  Ten (10) children later, and all of the romanticism of newborns has still taken hold.

~Am I enjoying the colicky baby that I have this time?


~Am I loving the lack of sleep and slumber,, the cranky moods that I find myself in just about every day?


~Does my housework seem to be left by the way side.. piling up?


~Have I considered hiring someone to hold, walk, and calm my screaming baby.. so that I can hug my other little ones?


~Do I feel as if time is fleeting by, while I walk, and walk, and cry my tears with my colicky baby?

YES,,, to all of the above.

And the romanticism of a newborn...
the coos, the snuggles, and the warm face against my cheek when she sleeps?
Still there.
Yep..
I love my newborn..
Just praying that I will get through this time with some sanity left, and an ability to catch up on lost time with the rest of my life.

Don't let the smiles fool you.... these are the only smiling pictures we could grab in 2 1/2 months.

Sorry to be missing in action so long,,
maybe this will be the road back to blogging for me.
We will see.
