Adjusting and Learning...

"I'm trying to savor this newborn period, when my brain doesn't seem quite warmed up enough to function in polite society. Physically, I'm feeling great. But the mental part of me is a long way from normal. I spend the daylight hours just floating in a postpartum fog. The days are flying by, and if I can get one thing done — like take a shower, for instance — then I consider it a successful day."

I found this quote from a blogger on babycenter.com.  It definitely explains exactly what I am feeling right now.  Adjusting and learning are two great descriptors for me right now.  Through all of this I am also content, overjoyed, and ecstatic.  I truly feel I am a completely different person since last week.  Ever since that little man was put on my chest, something changed.  The new me is quite different.  My whole life I have been the only child who had a lot of selfishness in me.  However now, that only child is changed.  She is still that only child to her parents, but the woman she knew before is long gone.  Sometimes I wonder how she can be so far away, but then I look at my new little man and realize she was always there, just not ready to be revealed.  My prayer is that God will teach me about this new skin and guide me every step of the way.
