new appreciation

I have heard many times over that I would have a new appreciation for my mother once I was a mother, and it is completely true. Looking back at all the horrible things I put my parents through, I can't believe I ever acted that way. My mother-in-law jokes about how I am already getting my payback, when Kade and I dated we would always get in really late, 2, 3 in the morning. She jokes around because Drake keeps us up till 2, 3 in the morning, she tells him he is a good boy, and giggles.

As I have been getting use to a newborn, I don't have time for anything else. I am not sure how moms with other kids have time for them. I feel as though I am constantly feeding Drake, he is almost always needing something. My house is a disaster. I have no time for dishes, let alone the energy. If Drake is sleeping, than I am trying to sleep. So all you mothers out there, you amaze me. It is a full time, hard time, job.

I am hoping I get the hang of this sooner than later.
