Trying to figure it out

I'm a week into this "motherhood" thing and I often wonder if I'm doing a good job. I look at some friends & it looks like being a mother comes so natural to them. I adore Elleri and think of her constantly. Every move she makes, I want to know what it means & if she is ok. There have definitely been times that I've felt overwhelmed, emotional & confused since we've been home. I pray for her (us) all the time knowing that God will give me wisdom, patience & guidance. Everyday is a learning process & I've got a long way to go.

I think that those of us who have wanted babies since we were young think that when a baby comes out you are automatically the best mom. But in reality, being a mom is like any job, it takes you awhile - maybe a lifetime. There are still things I have to call my mom about! All you need to know is you are Elleri's mom, and that is perfect enough! She adores you today more than yesterday and your personality alone makes Elleri and everyone else know what a good mom you are! It is so overwhelming and I am praying for you! It won't seem so overwhelming for long!!
