New motherhood is...

New motherhood is the smells of witch hazel, breastmilk and new baby.

New motherhood is eating breakfast at noon, lunch at one and dinner at midnight.

New motherhood is crying, laughing and sighing all in the same minute.

New motherhood is taking 300 pictures a day and regretting not taking more.

New motherhood is dying for a chance to sleep but staring at baby pictures when you get it.

New motherhood is staring at a new human you spend 24/7 with and still seeing constant change.

New motherhood is walking into your home the first time and knowing everything has changed, even if it is all still the exact same.

New motherhood is learning to surrender all of the easy that life gave you before for the hard of the most beautiful thing you will ever have or know.

New motherhood is being the person that that baby needs, even as you realize you may just need them more.
