Finding Our Rhythm





I have a million ideas running through my head on how to start this blog. None of them seem good enough. I'm doing this for two reasons, first: because Becky said I should. Second: Because I need a way to document my life as a mother and my amazing daughter.

So here goes. Kaydence turned 6 weeks yesterday! these past weeks have flown by faster than I could have imagined. Thursday she smiled her first smile! I was out of the room and she started fussing so I came back and she just looked at me and grinned! it was the best feeling ever, I'm seriously tearing up just thinking about it. She did the same thing today too only today she was crying and when I got there and told it was okay cuz I was there she stopped crying and smiled at me! I love it. I love being a mom.

I called my blog Rhythm of My Life because Kaydence means rhythm. It's a little ironic because we haven't quite figured our rhythm out yet.... Hopefully it's not as hectic as it seems to be now. Either way, she's my life and this is for her.
I don't know how I will find time to do this blog all the time though. Actually, I'm not sure how I find time to do anything. (The only reason I'm sitting here now is because I burned my finger on the woodstove and it hurts too much to do anything else, so I'm sitting here and constantly applying aloe vera whilst I type) I can't believe how much having a baby takes up all of your time! It seems like the moment she's asleep I have to rush around and try to catch up on everything until she's awake again and I have to drop whatever I'm doing and spend the next hour or two (or three or four..) devoting 100% of attention to this baby. Not that I'm complaining. I love every minute of it (almost) it's just shocking how much my day to day life has changed. I'm sure though, that it'll better once we get into the 'rhythm' of things... here's hoping anyway.
