Being a Mom is unlike everything I ever imagined.
Here are a few things I never expected or imagined:
How little sleep you can actually run on.
How fast you can go from dead asleep to wide awake just because of one little squeak.
How much lint can get stuck between toes, fingers and armpits.
How much time I can spend just trying to make her smile or laugh.
How incredibly strong Nora already is. Oh..and stubborn.
How easy Nora can make me melt completely with one look or sound.
And this brings me to one of my favorite re-occurring moments with Nora:
While eating just after waking, she will slowly open her eyes and make eye contact with me. Then she will stop eating and with her mouth still "full" she'll give me a Giant smile with her little dimples and say her go to coo sound, "A-coo". I always melt and can't stop the biggest smile ever from forming.
*sigh* Oh my sweet girl, how could I have ever imagined how amazing this journey would be.
