In the first couple days, when I got a few minutes of silence, I found that I have so much purpose now, Having a baby doesn't just mean a lifestyle adjustment; I have to figure out how to reinvent myself.I want to show her how to be a good person, and to know that she is loved and important. I need to figure out a way to tell Aliyah how proud I am of her for just existing.
I almost wish that I'd taken a couple minutes to say goodbye to myself-- I had a plain simple and lazy life right before i had Aliyah. People really aren't kidding when they say that your entire life's about to change when you have a baby. When she came into this world, I began a new love affair with a tiny bundle of joy, and motherhood felt completely natural and strange at the same time.
I lost focus on most of the things I once revolved my life around - makeup, music, hair, fashion, celebrity gossip and TV shows - My life now is revolving around Aliyah..
After six weeks home with Aliyah I suddenly realized that I'm not going to be able to devote hours and hours of time to self indulgence anymore. There really aren't full hours of anything, except Aliyah time.

Being a Mommy
