'My Happiness Came After Tears and Snot'

First-Time Mom Overcomes Emotional Struggles


About eight weeks into it, things finally started to settle down. Katherine and I were on a schedule (more-or-less), I was exercising regularly, and my hormones were getting back to "normal." I was starting to feel like a real person again. Adding to that, Katherine was starting to coo and smile at me! Now I was experiencing tears of joy.

Eleven weeks into motherhood and my "tears and snot" days are pretty much over. However, it still amazes me how difficult the emotional part of motherhood was (and is). I am so thankful for my daughter everyday. The joys of motherhood seem to grow each day and thankfully my emotional wackiness is shrinking. The joys are so great that I am looking forward to doing this all over again one day!
