first month

Hard to believe we've had Hazel for a whole month already...it still all seems so surreal! Yeah sure, there have been some really tough moments so far (and maybe a few more breakdowns than I'd like to admit), but I'm finally starting to feel like I'm getting the hang of being a mama - not to mention some of my energy back, hence this blog post. I do have to say that it has made me realize just how strong and amazing all of the millions of moms (and dads) who have already done this are. It truly is a humbling experience and I'm so thankful we have Hazel in our lives, even if it means sleeping in 2-3 hour blocks, cooking/eating/doing chores with one hand, and having not brushed my hair in over a week:)

I know it's a little silly to say, but I'm so proud that we survived the first month!
