4 Pro’s & 4 Not So Pro’s of Having a Baby | Life with My Macky

1. I absolutely adore my mornings. Every morning Macky wakes me to hugs and kisses. Every morning he makes me feel like his favorite person in the world and it is the greatest love ever. It begins my morning so warm even if we are freezing our butt’s off because daddy likes the house to feel like we live in Antarctica.
   

2. Being already in love with fashion, learning to dress a little boy is pretty fun when I am successful. Most boy clothes in store consist of cartoon characters and tacky boy quotes. So it is a great challenge to make him look stylish. But, when I do find him the right clothes, I jump up & down with joy dressing him up.

3. Going anywhere with him. I LOVE having a best friend go with my anywhere & everywhere. But sometimes your besties are busy. Not my Macky. Mac never has plans besides do everything I want to do haha. I love that he goes with me everywhere and I talk to him & show him all the new stuff they have in store. We enjoy walking around Target & Home decor stores.

Having the responsibility of being a mom. Many people are fearful of the lack of freedoms you take on when becoming a parent. And really, it’s true. You have to instantly become unselfish and put this small human being God has entrusted you with before yourself. But, because of this heavy responsibility, it has made me so much more strong, and less fearful. I used to second guess myself quite often. Now, I do things without caring what people will think of me because I am willing to do it for Macky.

Not Pro’s

1. The crying. Man let me tell you… sometimes… his cries make me feel like my brain is going to explode. They are so loud and I am the only person who will tend to him. So, I have to try my best to keep a calm mind as I get yelled at by my 9month old. It can be really dang hard. Sometimes I do let him cry it out for a little.

2. The lack of sleep. I have always slept early. I LIKE to sleep. I enjoy it very much, and I don’t understand the people who stay up at night. I physically can’t. I have done it once in high school, and that was it. Babies wake up in the middle of the night… multiple times. You have no choice, but to get up. And if he isn’t feeling well and wants to sleep in bed with momma, I wake up with kinks in my neck from the little corner I sleep in.

3. Carrying a big ol’ bebe. My little guy is HEAVYYYYYY. It is so difficult carrying him everywhere. Sometimes my arm will even go numb.

4. Paying for diapers. They are just really expensive, and I don’t like doing it lol. I mean yes, I can get a reusable cloth diaper but no. No way I would ever do that lol.

Having a baby has its ups & downs but mostly it is always up. I can’t imagine life without him anymore. I can’t wait for every moment in his life; I often have to pause and remind myself to live in the moment because it really goes by so quickly. I love my Macky more than I ever imagined.
