I love to see you as a mother, you wear that role very naturally I think. You are a beautiful mama, just as Jeremy is a beautiful baby! xoRebeccanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930994484840784819.post-62042162166106719122011-07-07T00:07:53.704-04:002011-07-07T00:07:53.704-04:00Sara,
Thank you so much for your comment. I wante...Sara,<br /><br />Thank you so much for your comment. I wanted to take a minute to come here and respond to you. <br />First of all, we are one week short of the day I became a Mother myself. It has been heavy on my mind these last few days, knowing that one year ago today something was changing inside of me that I wasn't quite aware of, yet.<br /><br />And in response to what you left on my blog - please, please forgive me for coming across more graceful than I did. I had so many days and nights where I was just a shell of myself. Unbrushed hair, emotions worn thin, and times of absolute despair and frustration. I think every Mother has those moments - some are just luckier in the department of how long those feelings go on. <br />Elodie was a "colicky" baby as well. I didn't want to accept that term because I knew something was wrong, she just couldn't communicate with me. For 3 straight weeks she didn't sleep, and just screamed and screamed. Honestly, I was taking a break from my blog in those periods, and wasn't doing much writing about what life was like. Those words are personal for me, but I don't mind sharing them here, with you. <br /><br />My hardest bought with the transition into Motherhood was finding who I was, inside of that shell. When my mind would cave into the depression of having something need me and hang on me 24 hours of the day, I would try my hardest to pull out of it and tell myself that things would be better, someday. And one day, they just were. <br /><br />It seems like you have settled into that moment, Sara. <br />By the end of the message you left me, I was so happy to learn that you had found your own path to Motherhood. What a beautiful moment to realize that as a human being, we have not only healed, but learned something amazing in the process. <br /><br />All my best,<br />AuraAurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04703730646756774047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930994484840784819.post-91808215735968379872011-07-05T23:16:31.765-04:002011-07-05T23:16:31.765-04:00Beautiful, Sara.
