Today It finally hit me,,

Today made me want to make this blog.. Today is 10 weeks and 4 days since I gave birth to my beautiful daughter Annabel and it was the first day I finally realized "I'm a mom".

Annabel has been sick the past couple of days, I kept saying it was just a cold but something felt off. Well, I ended up listening to my "mommy instincts" and we found out my baby girl has Strep (not to mention me too). While sitting in the waiting room, I held Annabel because she was much to excited to just lay in her car seat, she wanted to see the world! She cooed at people, smiled at people and everyone told me how cute she was and how lucky I am. For some reason, it hit me.. here I am sitting at the doctors for MY daughter, she is all mine (and of course Sean's, but that's a given). It was the most amazing feeling, today was the first day since she was born I really went out without Sean with her. I had to carry her and her car seat, her diaper bag, I looked like a real mom, a proud mom. It was an amazing feeling.

Another crazy thing? How REAL "Mom instincts" really are. I knew something was off, I didn't think it was dire, but I knew SOMETHING was off and it wasn't just a "cold". It's amazing how well we know our children, better then anyone in this world.

So, this is my blog.. my story.. my life as a new (proud) mama!
