Welcome Back to the Hood!

You know when you have not posted in 83 years, you feel the need to start at the very beginning and tell your life story.

That seems all too overwhelming!

The next few weeks of post may be random and somewhat misunderstood, but I have got to get some sort of record of our summer!

It has been FABULOUS!!

I have read some articles, searched the internet and am reaching out for some advice...to my fellow mothers.
Bentley has been going through what I hope is a phase. She has major seperation anxiety. She will not let me leave the house, the room or be out of her sight. She LOVES her sitter and when Dad drops her off, no big deal. When I drop her off, she cries and throws a fit for about three seconds.
The real problem is at home. Brade is SO good to her. He is always willing to play with her, wrestle with her, get her whatever she wants, but she cries if he even looks at her.
She will not let me out of her sight. I can't shower, go the bathroom, go downstairs....ANYTHING without her having a complete meltdown. She loves to tease her dad and gets so excited when he gets home, but heaven forbid he look at her. I am thinking he associates dad with me leaving....unfortunatly. I don't know the answer or how to cope with it. It is very stressful on ALL of us!
WHAT DO I DO?

BEFORE I WAS A MOM

Late night flights so I can be with Bent as long as possible before leaving town, red eyes to be there when she wakes up, exhausting days of work so I can maybe have one more day a week at home. Swimming pools, swing sets, toys, trips to the Zoo, the library and the museum, countless play dates, and "memorable" experiences...something I never thought about before this last year.

BEFORE I WAS A MOM

Before I was a Mom,I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby.

I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.

I never thought about immunizations.

Before I was a Mom,I had never been puked on. Pooped on. Chewed on. Peed on.

I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts.

I slept all night.

Before I was a Mom,I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests.

Or give shots.

I never looked into teary eyes and cried.

I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.

I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.

Before I was a Mom,I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put her down.

I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt.

I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much.

I never knew that I could love someone so much.

I never knew I would love being a Mom.

Before I was a Mom,I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.

I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.

I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child.

I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy.

Before I was a Mom,I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.

I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom.

I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much.

Thanks Camille for the darling poem!
