As most new moms know, being able to cook a meal while being 1. alert enough to know what you are making and actually make sense of a recipe; 2. able to complete cooking a meal without disruption of bottle making/feeding/changing diapers/or just holding a newborn; 3. even wanting to eat period are all miracles within themselves.
Tonight, as I cooked dinner while doing my former standard of listening to music while doing so, I was able to have a glimpse of normalcy. It was so nice and I had to smile to myself while thinking, "So this is what "normal" can feel like."
The idea of being "the mom" is still something I am trying to get used to. This is especially since I was for so long "always the 'auntie' and never the mom", and didn't know if those roles ever would change. While I always have and always will cherish my role of being "Auntie," being the "Mom" definitely puts a whole new twist, meaning, and experience to life. A new challenge, a new role, a new path, a new reason to smile, love, and laugh.
