People tried to tell me

I'm continuously finding that motherhood is pretty freakin' awesome.  When I was pregnant, people like to offer up their advice on what to do, what not to do, what to try, what to watch for and what to remember.  People tried to tell me how amazing motherhood is.  Plenty of people tried to tell me that time goes so fast once you have a baby.  I heard multiple people try to describe how babies change everyday. 

Umm....they were totally right. 

The last five months have flown by and I can't believe it.  Didn't my water just break?  And you know what, babies seriously change every.single.day.  I'm not talking huge, drastic changes.  It varies - one day he might do a new weird thing with his tongue when he tries to make noise, another day he might do something bigger like suddenly reaching for a toy. 

I am continuously in awe of my son and how he continues to grow before my eyes and the curiosity he displays for everything - a song playing on a toy, his daddy's voice, the dog's tail, a ceiling fan. 

Sometimes I can hardly take my eyes off him. 

People tried to tell me this is what it would be like, but I guess I couldn't have imagined...
