Motherhood

It's been quite a journey. I honestly cannot imagine my life without little Syona monster. She keeps me on my toes, and makes me want to be a better person every single day. I've said this before, but this is by far the hardest job I have ever had. The first few weeks of motherhood took me for a spin, with sleepless nights, learning to breastfeed, gaining confidence in taking care of an infant. But since then, I have seen how much I have grown and accomplished, and know that Syona is getting the best care from me and Paul. I take raising Syona very seriously and want to make sure I am being the best mom for her. The daily tasks itself can become cumbersome, especially when you try to get non-baby things accomplished during the day as well. These tasks often take a backseat to taking care of little Syona, so it's possible to go an entire day and feel like you didn't get much done. But I know taking good care of Syona is getting tons done. As I mark her progress and see how well she is growing, smiling, playing, laughing, talking and loving us back, I know I am doing good as a new mom. I am looking forward to the days when she will be able to communicate with us more, I would love to know what she is thinking in the little head of hers. But at the same time, I want her to stay little forever.
