Drama, drama, drama... But it's all worth it

I started off my blog dramatizing the angst of early parenthood. Picking on unwanted advice, disapproving commentary, and well-meaning yet frustrating gestures. But it's important to note that parenthood isn't all about drama and sleepless nights.

You find yourself surrounded by loving, thoughtful, and generous friends and family supporting you through what seems like an endless day (while time still flies). You find yourself deeply overjoyed by your growing family and, despite the frustration, you're the happiest you've ever been. 

You need your circle of loved ones more than anything at this point.

You find yourself appreciating everyone in your life and being more grateful than you thought you could ever be.

And if you're lucky to be blessed with amazing parents like us, you realize you'd be stuck in baby-blues hell without them.

So while I'm digging into a certain mindset here, it's important to look back at the advice, support, and endless, unsolicited LOVE that pores out to you. Be grateful. Be happy.

And try not to offend anyone. Just nod and smile...
