Maman arrives today.

Thank The Jesus because People, I need her right now. There’s nothing like having your mama around post baby.

It’s that support thing. The comfort. I know I’m supposed to be the mama right now … caring and loving and all that jazz, which I am but … I need my mama.

And I’m desperate for her to meet her grandson. I have such an overwhelming desire for Baby J to know his family … to be so loved by all those that I love.

Knowing that I get to have Maman all to myself for an entire week reassures me because truth be told, People, I’m having my moments here. Hard, trying moments.

The kind where I start crying for no good reason and want to bang my head against a brick wall. Lack of sleep plays a big part in all of this, as does the hormones but knowing this does not make it any easier.

And navigating new found Motherhood … it’s a lot … to take in, to do and to make it through every day.

But I’m making it — we’re making it — and I know we’ll continue to make it. Together.
