Wow. What a crazy year 2011 was.
I pushed a human being out of my nether regions. That human being now can sit, eat and give me cheek.
What will 2012 bring. This time next year, what will my little world look like?
The very first blog entry I wrote here in 2008 was about whether or not children keep you young. I had heard this saying before but never understood it. To me, all parents looked permanently exhausted, not youthful at all.
Now that I have joined the ranks of exhausted caregivers, I finally understand what it means.
Having a young kid takes a lot. It takes all your time, energy, patience, sanity. But what you get in return is immeasurable.
Hope springs eternal in human breast wrote Alexander Pope.
It's true. In the dark hours of another sleepless night, your baby looks at you or holds onto you in a certain way and all exhaustion is forgotten and you are renewed.
