Post the First

My name is Holli. I am the mother of a beautiful 18 month girl and my second baby (a little boy) is due any day now. I don't know what this is going to be. A separate Blog from my personal one about my experiences as a mom and a wife and and the challenges and rewards associated with those jobs is maybe what this will turn into. We'll see!

Motherhood for me is:

• Hugs and Kisses everyday
• Listening to the same music from a toy over and over
• Dancing to that music and shaking my booty
• Putting off eating the piece of candy I want right now so I don't have to fight to get it away from my child
• Napping during nap time
• Waiting impatiently for her to wake up because I'm bored without her
• Teaching her words like poo-poo and not being able to refrain from laughing too when she thinks flatulence is funny
• Astonishment that a 15 month old can figure out how to use an iphone
• Giving in and letting her watch Max and Ruby for the fifth time that day
• Eating soggy cereal every morning because i keep getting up to get things, clean up spills, kiss boo-boos, etc.
• Saying prayers, singing songs, hearing her say momma first thing when she wakes up, and loving someone so much it fills me up
