Motherhood

Tweet

Motherhood, so far, is exactly what I expected it to be: unpredictable.

I had an emergency c-section and the recovery has been slow, painful and often frustrating. Parenting, however, has been wonderful, especially since Jude is a content and happy baby and only complains when he actually wants something. A quiet and undemanding newborn child? Who knew they existed?

I decided to take a break from the blog and I plan to stick to that (except for small updates every now and again) until the end of my maternity leave in March.

Jude’s over a month old. And I still can’t believe I’m a parent.

  Love the photo – it looks like you’re already telling him what freelancing markets to avoid!

  Thanks! With parents like us, don’t think he’ll be escaping words. He’s already started looking at us and making sounds, as if he’s talking. Love it.

  Beautiful baby and mother. My children are 28 and 23 years, and I still have a hard time believing I am their mother. Enjoy, they change so quickly!
