“Save Me From Myself”

It’s not so easy loving me
It gets so complicated
All the things you’ve gotta be
Everything’s changin
But you’re the truth
I’m amazed by all your patience
Everything I put you through

When I’m about to fall
Somehow you’re always waitin
with your open arms to catch me
You’re gonna save me from myself
from myself, yes
You’re gonna save me from myself

My love is tainted by your touch
Cuz some guys have shown me aces
But you’ve got that royal flush
I know it’s crazy everyday
Well tomorrow may be shaky
But you never turn away

Don’t ask me why I’m cryin
Cuz when I start to crumble
You know how to keep me smilin
You always save me from myself
from myself, myself
You’re gonna save me from myself

I know it’s hard, it’s hard
But you’ve broken all my walls
You’ve been my strength, so strong

And don’t ask me why I love you
It’s obvious your tenderness
Is what I need to make me
a better woman to myself
to myself, myself
You’re gonna save me
from myself”

ohmy

new motherhood is its own special brand of sweetness….wrought with many twists & turns….sleepless nights…bleary eyed feedings…the constant urge to check & see if your little one is breathing….and yet somehow within the uncertainty & unpredictable struggles of day to day life with an infant…

prettyyes2

it is one of the sweetest times in a mother’s life….it’s as if you heart opens a new chamber of love….

love

for every mother the journey is different & yet somehow the same….we all have a unique birth story & the special private moments of cradling a newborn….but at the core of it its the same….pure love….

“My heart is yours. 
My spirit sings with love. 
For you. My child. 
You’ve grown yourself,
inside me.
Foot under my rib.
One became two. 
At last you are here. 
Sleeping on my chest.
Clutching my tangled hair in your hand.
Your dark eyes calm as a lake.
Your breathing making me safe. 
You who gave birth to this mother.
A life. My child.
We gave birth to each other.
I kiss your face.
A million times a day.
I sit still and listen.
To the whisper of your wisdom.
To life, right now.
This is love, my love.
My son.”

TEN LITTLE TRUTHS ABOUT PREGNANCY

1. nine months feels like the blink of an eye and forever all at the same time…. 2. no matter how uncomfortable you feel with your body, you’ll miss being pregnant later….. 3. feeling your baby kick for the first time is similar to your first kiss, all butterflies and smiles…. 4. pillows are sent from heaven & can help you get a few comfortable moments in bed every night…. 5. a glass of wine every now & then is really okay…. 6. nap whenever the feeling comes over you, when your little ones arrives you can only rest when they do…. 7. rub oils & lotions on your beautiful belly all the time, even if it cannot prevent stretch marks, it sure feels nice…. 8. chocolate is a critically important food group…. 9. appreciate your breasts, nursing will change them forever….10. pregnancy is as sexy as you want it to be, so wear your little lacy night gown & love every little bit of your amble curves…..

pregnancy

whether you are barefoot or in the perfect pair of high heels, pregnancy is one of the most life changing experiences a woman will go through in her life…..it is so important to embrace your ever evolving body and pay attention to every minute…because although it may seem like you are pregnant forever, it is really  not that long….and there is something so sweet, so peaceful about the little bundle inside you….so eat, sleep and treasure the days of random cravings, restless evenings trying to get comfortable and endless trips to the restroom….believe it or not, you’ll miss it…well parts of it anyway….so rub your belly & count your blessings….or better yet, take a nap….as they say, if mama’s happy….everyone’s happy…..
