Mom of Boys

My thoughtful sister gave me a t-shirt for my birthday which says "Mom of Boys." I am a mom of an almost 3-year old and twins who are 9 months old. Thad made me a mom, but the crucible of motherhood didn't hit me until the twins came on the scene. Suddenly, I know what it's like to be a juggler, but I've tried juggling before and had never got all 3 balls into the air at once.

I knew that I would have to ask for lots of help to make it through the newborn phase, but now I'm learning that asking for help for me personally has been much harder. I want to be that supermom who can do it all, but it really is a myth. In the intensity of transitioning into my expanded role as mom of boys, I endured much. Yet, I overcame much. This blog will be a place to reflect on my newfound state, to grieve the loss of my old one, and to find joy in the everyday slog of motherhood.
