I'm reflecting on these past four(ish) months.
I am so happy to have my darling girl and my handsome husband. I only vaguely remember trying to get Belly to smile for the first time and now that's child's play compared to trying to make her laugh. She's growing up so fast.
My wrist is getting better! Taking care of her isn't that difficult anymore. Sure, it aches a lot here and there but I can usually just work through it and get blood flowing so it won't hurt as much. EC and I are learning to literally share the weight.
School has been the easiest thing to do compared to what else has been going on. Going to class and doing assignments, working on projects and studying for exams--not a problem. Waking up every 2 hours every night for two months, pushing a baby out of me, struggling to pay rent--my reality. And I love it. I don't love struggling in the moment. I love knowing we got through something so hard. After every fight, EC and I bask in the small glory of being able to forgive each other no matter what. Nothing worth having ever came easy.
I'm looking forward to taking summer classes and working more--and hanging out with my family more. (;
Don't lose sight of your victory! This last week and these last exams/papers/finals are just a stepping stone to get where you want to be!
