It was the best Sunday in the best March in the best year of my life. Humnoy’s birthday, that is. 2011 made me a mother and made me realize that I can sometimes do this whole thing a bit better than I led myself to ever believe. In that year, I got to spend the rest of 2011 learning about myself and this perfect little human that I was able to call mine. 2012 is better though because I completed a calendar year of motherhood, which doesn’t shit really nor mean more than my first born’s birth but it’s still noteworthy.

2012 was awesome because:

Essentially this post doesn’t mean anything is better than the birth of my baby but 2012 will be hard to top. I got a whole calendar year of straight-up motherhood. It was my first time as a Mom from year’s start to year’s end. Motherhood is built upon tracking milestones by the faintest of details, right? Maybe next year I will eat my words when I will be a mother to two. Happy New Year!
