Being a First Time Mother

I love being a mother. I think it's the best thing in the world for any woman to experience. I really can't describe how wonderful of a feeling it is taking care of something so small and precious than what two people very much in love can create. My daughter contently amazes me with everything she does. I can't believe I helped create her.
Honestly, I can stare at her for hours and never grow tired of it. Today was her first time trying rice cereal. She didn't really care for it and wanted her formula instead. I wasn't discouraged, mainly because she got her second round of shots yesterday at her 4 month check up. So I know she is still sore and a little out of it to be trying something new.
More than likely I will try again tomorrow or Sunday and see what happens. Since giving birth to her, I have grown to have more patience with some things especially with her. She's actually on my lap right now as I type. Haha. The first time I left her with a friend so I could get my LEEP surgery done,(another time for a later blog) I was so nervous and scared.
I almost didn't want to leave. But I knew she was in very good hands since my neighbor has two kids of her own and I have seen her with other small children. I actually surprised myself because I thought I was going to be calling my friend every five minutes but only called twice. Go me! I think my biggest test will be leaving her in daycare where I don't know any of the adults.
But right now I am enjoying being a stay at home mom spending all of my time with her. She'll come with me to my scrapbook group in my apartment complex. Sarah is such a great baby and always does well when we go places. The only time she gets fussy is if she is hungry, need a diaper change or is tired. She also almost always sleeps through the night!
She's trying to crawl right now and so far she has the back half right, it's just trying to figure out how to get her front half to work. Sarah is defiantly not a quitter because she will keep trying eventhough she will get frustrated at times. No one said being a parent would be easy, but I wouldn't change it for the world.
