It is hard to be an adult...

I know I say it over and over again, but this adulthood business is hard work. I thought that when I got here I would have it all figured out. I thought my parents did. I thought being a parent would be easier...not easy but easier.

This week has perhaps been the hardest week I have had as a parent this far. I know in the scheme of things it is nothing and I am absolutely certain I have harder weeks ahead. But this week with a perfectly happy and healthy munchkin I have been worried, broken hearted, and lost.

There is nothing much to say about where my thoughts have been, but that I have so many hopes and dreams for my baby boy, and I hope that I am able to be everything that he needs as a Mommy.

When you become a parent you are so overwhelmed by so many feelings. Being a parent is the most overpowering thing to happen to me. I love Riley so much more than I ever ever could have imagined was possible. I wish this incredible, life changing, heart pounding, paradigm shifting and joyous experience for everyone I know. It truly is the most amazing thing I have ever done in my life.
