It is funny how all my post partum triumphs also have a negative side to them. Here are some examples:
The Good: Look I just buttoned my pre-pregnancy jeans!
The Bad: Oh dear, look at that muffin top.
The Good: My baby just slept all day and I got so much done!
The Bad: It is 3 in the morning and my baby has been awake for the past 2 hours. Why won't she sleep?
The Good: Yes! I don't have to wake up and pee 2-3 times a night.
The Bad: Now I get to wake up and feed my baby 2-3 times a night.
The Good: My belly is no longer huge!
The Bad: Now I no longer have a good excuse for looking fat.
The Good: My baby has the most beautiful hair.
The Bad: She wakes herself up by pulling it out.
Life is just strange like that. We always think the grass is greener on the other side when really we are just called to be content. I am truly grateful to have my baby here and out of me. Being a parent is challenging and I have a feeling that it is only going to get more tough.
