Well...life has been a little difficult in Milo's world for the last couple of weeks (not to mention mommy and daddy's:)) He has developed colic and is at the PEAK of the cycle from what I understand. Evenings are the most difficult with his crying being pretty much inconsolable. It breaks my heart to hear him cry so hard and so LOUD (well, that part breaks my ears) and I have to say I feel like we've tried almost everything. Next on the list...hypoallergenic formula. We'll see how that goes.......

Anyway.....me being a new mommy and all, I just have one question. Is THIS what they mean by "tummy time"??! :) :)

I also have to say that so many people have told me that being a mother is the hardest thing I will ever do (not to mention the most rewarding), and although I am tired and the demands of my time are in someone else's hands.........my heart does not deeply ache as it has the last 8 years. I can pick up, hold and cuddle my baby anytime I want to. I can't imagine anything better than that in the whole world. I don't wake up everyday with a yearning in my body, mind and spirit that brings me to my knees in pain because I cannot have it.
This....being milo's mommy brings an array of emotions....exhausting? yes. ~ time consuming? yes. But, I am WHOLE again ~ there is no difficulty in that ~ only pure joy and I am loving every moment of it. :) Colic and all :)
