My attempt at motherhood and not ruining the life of a perfectly adorable baby girl. I'll keep a running tally of what its really like to be a mom, at least through my very tired eyes.
Isabel Merritt was born on February 6, 2008 weighing in at a hefty 6 pounds 3 ounces with a length of 19 inches. She put me in labor for the entire week before she appeared- that sweet thing. Although, she made up for it by popping out in three little pushes. The doctor wasn't even ready!
Since then, my husband has not given me a second look. That works out fine because my heart is tucked away in those little hands.
I have added "mom" to my current list of desciptors - to include wife, daughter, sister, tv junkie, want-to-be book writer, procrastinator, Tar Heel, friend, all around funny gal.
Sidebar - for those gramma-nazis out there, please note that I am sometimes typing these posts with one hand with very little time. So excuse any "edits" you find in my charming stories.
