But like for real, though? It's like one minute I'm drinking $20 crafted cocktails, spending hours on end at Equinox and indulging in weekly manis and then the next BAM I'm ginormously fat (okay, pregnant!) and arguing with an almost 3 year old boy about how to treat a puppy. And for the record, no I did not win that argument. I don't remember when I first heard someone tell me that the age of 3 is worse than 2 but I know I didn't believe them. And it's a good thing I didn't listen to them either. It's like if other moms told you what the 1-2 weeks process that your body goes through post partum was like. No one would ever have children. I mean don't get me wrong, I have wanted to be a momma my whole life but right now is such a challenging time that I wonder if life will ever be easy again?!?! Probably not. But then again that's why we have wine! And you can bet your bottom dollar that I am counting down the days until I can indulge in Whispering Angel Rose by the bottle. Only 122 left!
So, not only am I six months pregnant but I'm also a mom to a wild pint sized 3 year old boy. On top of that, we thought it was a great idea to bring home a puppy this weekend. My husband seems to recall this as being my idea but I'm pretty sure that anything you agree to during pregnancy is not of true sound mind and body so I don't really think that counts. He doesn't get or agree to this line of thinking but I've told him over a thousand times that you can't argue with a pregnant lady and he still doesn't seem to get it. I mean the last time I was pregnant he convinced me to move from LA back to NYC. We now live in Charlotte so I think you know where I am going with this... Anyhoo, so we brought the puppy home on Friday and I thought I was going to have a mild panic attack yesterday. The puppy is super adorable and sweet but for some reason my son seems to think he needs to swing it round by the tail, carry him by his neck and lay on top of him EVERY single second the poor pup is awake. I mean can some other boy moms reassure me that this is totally normal???
So somewhere among my weekend of toddlers, puppies and pregnancy I'm left wondering when I became a middle aged Mom. I always thought I would be that super cute mom that totally had her s*it together but nope I'm not. I'm not super mom. I'm just a gal still dreaming of that picture perfect life that well let's be honest probably doesn't even exist! So if you're looking for some commiseration, giggles and a gal pal to help you survive life with children then follow me as I try to navigate life as a parent of 2 babes and a fur pup.
