A Blink of My Eye

Somehow, I'm not quite sure how, bu somehow my son is almost 4 months old It seem like just yesterday I was living at the hospital while he was in the NICU, but now he is a happy, healthy 4 month old. I cannot believe it. I want to just put a book on his head and tell him to stop growing so fast, because this thing he's been doing. This growing. It's out of control. I mean, it isn't like I haven't made concessions I did accept that he couldn't stay tiny forever, but I mean seriously, it's getting ridiculous how much he's changed.From this:

To this:

Stop growing up so fast. It's going to be December before we kn ow it and you'll be a year old. I can't even imagine you walking a blink after I just had you.

Rest and Relaxation

I love you, and I think about you often. Like... everyday.

I think about what kind of cookies you might like. I think about what you might like for dinner. I think about your dirty laundry that needs cleaning. I try to figure out ways to sneak vegetables into your food... and I think about how to make your life easier when you get home from work. I also think about our son and his needs all day-every day.

Yesterday though... yesterday I though only of myself. I thought of me, and how much I could not live another moment without a a chocolate milkshake in my face, so I bought one. I thought about myself when I went window shopping in the mall.. and I thought about myself again as I relaxed in a bubble bath with a book, while you took care of our screaming child. See where I'm going with this?

It was wonderful to have a day of relaxing. I mean and entire day off. I woke up and rested, I had lunch and rested, I went shopping for myself and rested. Now my day off is over, it is a new day and I am rested (and my house is completely clean, thanks to my husband).

I wanted to thank my husband for letting me rest. We both work hard all day-ever day, and it was wonderful to relax. Soon it will be your turn my dear.
