Sometimes motherhood involves some stinky tasks…Scentsy is here to help with all that smells!! Don’t forget to enter the giveaway going on today!
Day two of our Not-So-Glamourous Mommy Moments features my dear friend Katie from Simply Sweet. She is a southern mama who loves Jesus, cooking, decorating, scrapbooking, and of course her family!
And for her tale:
Motherhood…the absolute best thing in the entire world! I always knew I wanted to be a mom but I never knew how much I was going to fall in love with my precious baby girl. I only thought I’d fallen in love with her until they placed her in my arms. I will never forget the overwhelming emotions I felt when my skin touched hers. It was
almost more than I could handle. And though some days are easier than others on the journey of raising a child, at the end of the day, nothing can take away from the love I have for my sweet little Emma. Not even having “poo” exploded on you ;)!
I’m sure most of us have been there. I don’t know how you can go through the newborn stages without getting it on you somehow! Emma was born the first of November in 2009 and we lived in Texas at the time. So when Christmas rolled around, we loaded up the car and headed to Kingsport, TN to be with our family. She was an amazing traveler!! We almost never knew she was back there. On our way back home from our Christmas vacation, we stopped at a Chick-fil-a for dinner. It was bitterly cold, so rather than all three of us getting out of the car and going inside, Will went in and got our food while I nursed Emma. I got in the back seat with her and I usually changed her diaper before she ate because she would fall asleep while eating and that way she was good to go! Being so little, I was still able to lay her out on my
lap to change her no problem! Well, she had left me a little surprise in that diaper. So I got her all cleaned up, placed another diaper on her and right when I went to pull the diaper up…another surprise shot straight out!! I was covered in poo from my chest to my belly button. Will came outside about that time to find me with a half naked
baby on my lap and a lovely scene all over my shirt!! I didn’t even know what to do :). Luckily we were traveling so I had another shirt to put on and amazingly my white shirt came clean!!! I remember in that moment I knew how in love I was with this kid because as I was sitting there covered in poo, I almost didn’t care! Normally, I would’ve freaked out, but babies change your life and mine is no different. Emma makes me a better person. She brings out the good in all situations.
So yes, motherhood can bring about many not so glamorous moments, and I’m sure throughout the years we will encounter many more but I
wouldn’t trade em for the world. I love my baby!!! (even her poo :)! )
