Happiness

Ok so I was read this article in Parenting magazine that says most parents, mothers to be exact, aren't actually happy being parents. I mean people always say they are happy, but most are unhappy, stressed and don't enjoy the stressful time with their children. Well I can say honestly that I am happy being a mom. It is a full time job, it is a life time job for that sake. And they say you should love your job, which most people don't, but I do! I LOVE MY JOB!! I Love love love love love, I could go on all day, my job. I love Liem. When he cries and can't stop, and when he laughs that cute little laugh. I love ALL of it. I guess it might be because I don't get annoyed with him. I know it sounds like a lie, but its not I swear. I am happy doing everything. The only problem I have had this whole time is that my shoulder hurts because I want to hold him all the time. He is so cute that I don't even want to put him down. I was watching a show today where a two year old came out and wouldn't speak because he missed his mom. I want that. I want Liem to be so attached to me that I can't get a free moment. I take the moments in when he looks up at me and smiles. I even love it when he farts when I am holding him! Sounds stupid, but I know it means he is comfortable. I can tell he loves me already. This job could be stressful but I think its everything else in life that is stressful, not the baby. I mean Sam going back to work and not being around alot is stressful, and moving 900 miles away was stressful. Other than that how hard is being a mom? When he cries, he wants something. When he gets tired he sleeps, when he needs to go to the bathroom, he has a diaper. Its all so easy because it comes naturally. I may not get to take showers when I want, or exercise without stopping, but hey what can you do? Be happy with what you get and move on.


I will always love my little man no matter what he throws at me!
