These past 7 weeks have flown by so fast. I can’t believe my baby is growing before my eyes and my life has changed so much in a very short amount of time. Of course, it’s been for the best. I have realized that the small and simple things in life can be the most beautiful.
Things I have enjoyed during my hiatus from blogging:
cuddling my new baby
watching her grow from *my* milk – my body still amazes me
seeing her change and learn new things – like cooing loudly to wake me up 
staying in my pjs for far too long
DH cooking me meals and taking care of me
feeling loved
learning something new about being a mommy everyday
gaining patience (even if it wasn’t always easy)
an open calendar
feeling good enough to do the dishes, laundry, and cook again for my family
sunshine coming through my windows
listening to my body to get back into an exercise routine
listening to my heart about work
Next Stepping Lightly, I’ll be talking about raising chickens and having a garden! Don’t miss it!
I’ve always envied women during those first few months of their babies’ lives. Although I know it must be difficult– so much to learn, so little sleep, the recovery from the birth. . . it also seems to be one of life’s most simplest times: a time to simply be home and with family, with nothing else to interrupt that. I’m so glad to hear you’ve been enjoying it and making the most of this precious time in your life.
