Hardest part about being a mom

I love being a mom!  Elizabeth is such a joy to have!  She is a smiley, happy baby that brightens my days.

Now, with being a mom I only have one thing that I really struggle with.  I actually enjoy changing her diapers(she loves to talk and laugh while I do it), and I have some cute memories from the middle of the night feedings.  The thing that I have a hard time with is hearing Elizabeth cry.

When Elizabeth cries I just want to do anything for her to make her happy again.  But I have realized that sometimes she just needs to cry some.  There are times when Elizabeth is going to sleep she cries a little bit, and then she drops off to sleep.  I have found that when she does this she is able to sleep so much better, and even wakes up happier.  So, I realize that sometimes it is okay to just let her cry it out.  To me, it may seem like she is crying forever, but usually it is only for a minute that she cries.
