But They're Worth It...

I've been telling everybody that being a mother is the hardest thing I've ever done thus far. Sleep deprivation, sore nipples, anxiety about doing something wrong coupled with being tired. I'm tired of wearing Matthew's shorts and t-shirts, not getting to drink anything fun, the perpetual disarray of our apartment, sleeping only two hours at a time... Of course, nursing is difficult too because I'm the only one who can feed Sean (every 2-3 hours), but I love how close we are and how he snuggles up next to me. I love how people come up to see him (and tell me how cute he is) when I'm out with Sean in my baby sling. And I get to spend my days (and nights) with this little guy...
