When Rick and I first found out we were expecting with Stella, my original plan was to stay home until she was about 6 months and go back to work at the end of March. I cannot believe I was going to miss all of the magical moments that we got to experience together. I felt very fortunate to be able to take the entire year and spend each day with her. I can't imagine a day with out her. She makes each day unique. Not only have I learned a tremendous deal about her and her personality but she has taught me so much about myself that I never knew. I am going to go out on a limb here and say that I have more patients that I thought I would have. that doesn't mean that i don't loose it sometimes- it's only human right? ;) I am not a perfect Momma, but I do my very best each day to make her happy, encourage her, keep her safe and make her laugh. let's just say, i do some pretty ridiculous stuff to get a rise out of her.
I have two months left before I have a 1 year old. i feel in complete denial over here. I have been a Momma for ten months twenty months to be exact now. They have been the best months thus far. There have been days with meltdowns, days I wanted to throw in the towel and days I could loose my shit. But because of Stella, those days are still some of the best.
I am incredibly fortunate to be able to stay home another year with her. I really thank one person for making this possible...my hubby. he works his ass off so i can stay home and raise Stella. For this I will forever be grateful.
Bring on another great year.
