It Won’t Be Like This Forever

Sometimes you just have to drop everything and tend to the baby.

Calm after the storm.

The truth is in the moment you get upset because you just want to feel normal and get whatever you are in the middle of done without having to stop in the middle of it. It’s easy in that moment to forget that this tiny person relies on you for food, for comfort, for safety and security. To change their diapers, bathe them, clothe them. Cool them down, warm them up, help them. This tiny little beings complete existence relies on you. They don’t understand that you have a pile of dishes that need cleaning, clothes that need washing, a book to read, coffee to drink, sweeping, mopping, food to eat,  you get my drift. But you know what? It won’t be like this forever. One day you’ll wake up and realize that your baby isn’t a baby anymore. They don’t need you as much. So relish in this baby phase, embrace being needed. Don’t put to much emphasis on your household needs. Meet your needs,  meet their needs, and the rest will get done when it gets done.
