Do you like being a mom?

Ah, yes. Everyone's favorite question for me these days. It's an okay one, I suppose, though not entirely fair. If you were to ask me, "Do you like having a son that's the most adorable little boy in the whole world?", then the answer to that question would be an easy one. Of course I love my little Squeaker.


But do I love getting up three times a night to feed and change my little bundle of joy? Not so much. I could also do without the projectile gastronomical productions and the unpredictability of living with a person who has little concept of a 24-hour day and only communicates in grunts, cries, wails, and head bobs.


But when I catch little moments like these, somehow it makes all the chaos worth it and I am convinced that things will get easier. Someday...

So well put! Bill doesn't understand when I flip flop from wanting kids and saying I'm really happy to pass them back off to their parents. This is why!!!
