Reminder:

After a hard weekend for me and my little family, I made two little prints. 

I made this one today because I need it, I need a big obvious reminder to slow down, to focus, to stop being so hard on myself, to forgive myself... A reminder that this time is so precious and that it's okay to be a little bit more selfish, to take care of myself and our baby because I am going to blink and I'll have this baby in my arms. 

I made another on Saturday afternoon after a particularly difficult morning. It says 'the dewey family loves each other'. I just scribbled it on a scrap piece of paper and placed it next to my sick, napping husband. That silly little sign made the absolute world of difference for us, it changed our attitudes toward each other and our situations completely. We stuck together. We put the other person first even though we both felt like we needed looking after. Now I've made a prettier version and hung it above the moses basket in our bedroom.

As long as I have these visual reminders, I think I will be okay. I will also be okay when these hormones calm down...
