It's hard to believe I've been a mommy for a month. Even though my days are filled to the brim with feedings and spit up and diapers, it's still somewhat surreal. Here's this little creature I'm responsible for 24 hours a day and part of me still can't believe she's mine. And yet, at the same time, some of the thoughts I have while I'm holding her...about her first steps, her first ski trip, her wedding...are palpable. At one month, I can attest to the fact that the following cliches are spot on: 1) the time flies by and 2) you don't really know your true capacity to love until you become a parent.
