You smile, I smile

     'Cuz when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for awhile

     With the sun streaming through the windows and the sound of my baby breathing in and out as she sleeps next to me, my heart is overflowing on this first day of March. Life has changed so dramatically. The air just smells better. 

     Eva is almost a month old--no, I REALLY CAN'T (and don't) believe it. Her sweet smile pushes me through sleepless nights and tiring days. She has QUITE a dramatic personality. One of our favorite little antics of hers is when she's sleeping--her little face goes in-between wide smiles and wrinkly frowns interchangeably. It's quite hilarious and one of the cutest things on earth.

     Motherhood is alot of work for me and leaves little time to think about myself at all. I'm tired all the time and don't wear as much makeup as I did 3 1/2 weeks ago. In return for work, I get smiles from this sleeping little angel next to me. I wouldn't trade one of her smiles for a thing I'm supposedly missing out on. I always knew this was what I wanted to do. I may not have the energy I dreamed of while doing this thing called "being a mom," but I have more blessed moments and sweet hours than I could have imagined in a lifetime.
