The first three months
of motherhood happened all too fast!!!
I spent so much time
trying to figure things out.
I spent so much time trying to get a hold of what was going
on and in the meantime he was growing fast.
I spent so much time warming up to the fact that he was here and
in the meantime he was growing fast.
Every so often I’d be amazed at what milestone he was now
reaching…. smiling now, laughing now, holding the bottle while feeding, and
grasping his toys in his rocker, recognizing his name…
One day we woke up
and he wasn’t crying hysterically during bath time like he had always done
before.
One day we woke up and
his favorite onesie didn’t quite fit anymore.
It all happened so fast and although I tried really hard to
document it all when I sit and look at all the pictures I took (and believe me
there are many) none of them really encapsulate where we were at each stage…
Things have changed so fast…
He has changed so much, he looks different, and he acts
different.
The sleepless nights of week one and week two are long gone.
He has different cries now, he has character traits and behavior
traits…all of this in just three months!!
I know when he wants to be picked up,
when he isn’t in the mood for funny faces, when he is ok with playing alone and
when just wants to be at peace in moms arms.
It happened far too quickly and now it’s gone.
For two and a half months he was all I focused on. I spent
each and every day with him. I slept when he slept. As long as he was awake he
was either in my arms or at arm’s length but definitely in sight (I would stare at him for hours on end..literally) and yet I feel
a bit nostalgic still.
Just yesterday I was waiting for my EDD...
Just yesterday we were celebrating his weekversary..
Where did the time
go??
Was there even time
to begin with?
Is this what people mean when they say “they grow up so fast”?
The first three
months of motherhood happened far too fast!!

The lesson in all this?? I am purposeful about time with my
son. Malachi has taught me the value of each day…priceless! Once it’s gone it’s gone…enjoy it, hold it
tight while you can coz in the blink of an eye it’s already tomorrow and yesterday’s
gone.
