As a new parent... wait, scratch that... as a new FEMALE parent... an important change that MUST occur if you want to live fully in the moment with your new angel is to let go.
Let go of to do lists...
Let go of the desire to impress...
Let go of a competitive nature...
Let go of keeping a picture perfect home...
Let go of the urge to compare yourself to others...
Let go of unrealistic clothing sizes...
Let go of nit picking...
Let go or you will miss so many important moments and you will always feel inadequate...
While I really desire to keep this blog going so that I can go back and relive such special memories, it has become something on my To Do List that never gets checked off. Therefore my plan is to start a twitter account to Atticus that documents in 40 characters or less ;) how I am feeling, things he has done or said, and just moments in general that I hope to remember. I really wish I would have done this when I got pregnant, but when a pregnancy is SOOOOOOO unexpected, it is hard to think of everything you want to do.
Anyway.... off to Twitterland I go...
(I do hope to have one post recognizing those who have made an impact on me and a post identifying the impacts Germany has made on me)
