transitions

I guess that’s what you’d call my current state… transitional. We’ve gotten past the whole “OMG we’re having another baby!” to “ok, what do we need to do next?” and of course, the whole “oh shit, another delivery” is soon to come.

I’ve been reading with lots of sympathy, my friend melinda’s trials and tribulations as she transitions into motherhood. She’s learning, the hard way, of course, that motherhood isn’t all Carnation commercials. It’s hard, it’s thankless, full of guilt and it’s tiring. Incredibly tiring. Draining emotionally. Yes, the rewards are incredible. But it’s SO HARD to see those rewards at 3am when everyone else in the known world is sleeping except for you and this new little being.
