mama

it's still a little strange to think that i'm a mama now.

i dreamed about it for so long 

and now here it is.

i'm a mom.

i have a daughter.

there are, of course, times that i feel unworthy

and feel like the worst mom in the world

(like the other night when i bonked her little head)

but then there are times when i have her in my arms

and i think

i was made for this.

one month in

and i have so much to learn

but boy do i love it.

birthday

today i am 24 years old.

marlowe is 4 weeks old.

papa skipped his classes and we're celebrating all weekend long.

i've been cooped up in this house since marlowe's birth

so we're staying at the beach house for the weekend.

and to say i'm excited is a huge understatement.

let the celebrating begin!

robe

i got a robe and i don't think i'm ever going to take it off.

it's the softest thing i've ever felt

and it feels so good against my uncomfortable, growing, itching belly.

bennett says i'm officially a mom now

since i sit around in my robe all night

tweaking our baby registry 

and googling which brand of cloth diapers is best.

yep,

life is good.
