Does it make me a bad mom if I sometimes wake my baby daughter up when she is well into her REM slumber so that I can hold her? Does it make me a bad employee if I sometimes make my way to Shutterfly to look at photos of her during the workday? Does it make me a bad friend that sometimes I just want to stay in rather than go out solely so I can spend more time with my daughter? Does it make me a bad wife that in the wee hours of yesterday morning I lowered my voice three octaves and demanded, in what can only be described as a growl, that my husband tend to our crying daughter so I could grab a few more winks? Does it make me a bad pet owner that my dogs have become second class citizens since the baby’s arrival?
I didn’t think so…

Hi, your blog is wonderful. Motherhood certainly agrees with you. Some days I need a reminder of what an amazing experience this is and today was one of them. Your posts were just what I needed.
