Tunnel Vision

This is a picture of my babies, SITTING UP and playing together! AH! The time has finally arrived. Although they are wobbly, and Lena still needs to be surrounded by pillows, I am so relieved.

This is it, a major milestone. The first step towards independent playing. A major step towards self-burping. And for me, it's a huge sigh of relief.

As you may have noticed, from my previous posts, the past half a year has not been the most enjoyable of my life. I know moms who say infancy is amazing, shiny, happy, glorious. For me it was dreadful, exhausting, overwhelming and I'm not quite sure how I survived. But the babies turn six months next week and I am so happy. They actually have personality now, and they smile and giggle and physically are easier (less crying, sleeping better, less burp issues etc).

I feel like the past six months I've had tunnel vision, where I can only see minutes, hours, a night ahead of me. I'm starting to reach the end of the tunnel and see the other side. My view is opening up and I realize how much there is to look forward to. The most strenuous part is behind us and I am starting to really enjoy being a mom. <3 Carmen & Lena
