Disclaimer: I have teamed up with Graco in support of this campaign. We received product for participation in this campaign. However, all thoughts and opinions are my own.
I never knew feelings of love, joy and excitement could be so closely tied in to fear and frustration. Being a new mom has got me swinging back and forth.
I was so excited to welcome my tiny baby into this world but what about all those what ifs? What if something is wrong, what if I don’t do a good job? What if all those people that told me I will never sleep again or have a moment to myself were right! New moms can become really good at contemplating the what ifs.
Two days after my precious baby was born we got the Graco Simple Sway Swing. The first time I used it I was trying to pick up the living room so that life didn’t look quite so frantic when Grandma came to visit.
I was surprised at the beautiful music it played. My newborn was calm and content as she rocked slowly back and forth. My what ifs melted away as I realized my baby was happy and safe and I was able to focus on something else for a little while.
My newly cleaned living room looked nice with the Graco swing in the corner. I love that the swing has a relatively small base. I don’t have that much space and baby paraphernalia is already overtaking my living room- but this swing fits nicely!
I am never quite so happy as I am when I have by beautiful baby resting in my arms- but since I only have two arms it is so nice to have another engaging spot to lay her down.
