Mommy Tired

I woke up this morning Mommy tired. My first thought when I woke up was, it can't be morning, it was night three seconds ago. I flipped my legs out of bed with a groggy, foggy mist over my mind and a dull ache in my body. But then, something miraculous happened. I remembered that I get to see and hold my beautiful baby as soon as I get back to the hospital. With that one thought, I chugged my coffee and got energized for the day. I did my first load of baby laundry so Alexa can wear her own clothes today. (I hadn't washed anything out of fear that she may not be a girl and the adoption may not go through.) I'm fast tracking through the rest of my chores too.

I feel myself developing into a Mom by the second. I see Alexa's face as I slowly drift into sleep. I think about hugging her squishy little body and touching her silky soft baby skin. And right now, my number one goal is to get back to our sweet little angel, hold her, hug her and sniff her powder smelling little head. Yep, I'm a Mom now. Wow, it feels amazing.
