After 13 days of practice, I can say - without a doubt - being a Mom is the best job I've ever had.
Iris was born on Christmas Eve at 8:52AM. In 13 days, this little person who is completely dependent on Luis and me has changed my life completely. She's changed my priorities, my daily routine and the minute to minute thoughts that pass through my mind each day. All of these things now strictly revolve around Iris. It's a change that I could never prepare for but that also has come so naturally from the moment she arrived.
Iris can't talk yet; she doesn't knowingly laugh at the silly faces we make at her; she sleeps for what seems like 90% of the day and yet I am completely content to sit and stare at her for hours on end.
She is perfect.
I'm looking forward to all the changes that will take place this year alone; although, I am also terrified by how fast the time will go. 13 days already and I feel like it's been more like 13 hours. I pray that I can be conscious and aware of her every day, always appreciate the changes and be amazed by her growth.
