I remember thinking that motherhood wouldn't be that hard, it's instinct right, things will just fall into place. I was sort wrong...
I remember the first cold, I rushed Mack (4 months old) to the ER. I didn't even call the doctor I just took her to the emergency room. She had a high fever and a runny nose. I learned then that babies get sick and to watch them and make sure you nurse lot's and they are peeing and drinking lot's of fluids. I learned from my mistake of rushing Mack to the ER.
Teething, I was in for a surprise. It was a lot of internet research, trial and error and sleepless nights. But I made it.
I never realized that nursing would take so much effort and energy. I was completely drained and tired all the time. I wish I was more prepared for that.
Looking back the last 3 years of all that I've done and accomplished as a mother and learned, it's been an incredible journey. and I always think about doing it again... I must be crazy.
