Ben will turn 4 months on the 12th. I have now conceded the fact that he is my entire universe which does scare me at times. My day is filled with saying aaawoohh, aguh, and blowing spit bubbles. When I’m not with him, I’m thinking about him or what I can get him to play with and keep him stimulated with. I hate when I can’t figure out why he’s crying. We go to mom’s groups and buy the best formula and constantly assess his growth and I know this is normal, but I wasn’t quite prepared for this obsession. I wouldn’t change being a Mum for the world, and I know that Greg wouldn’t change being a Dad either, except maybe the dirty diapers. He’s fun and exciting and sweet and smart, what can I say?
Also this year, Paul celebrated his one year since getting “blowed-up”. Both Paul and Audra and their son, Simon have changed a lot, and in some ways, I think, all of us have grown closer.
It’s cliche - but love does amazing things. It can help you survive against all odds, live without sleep for days, put you out of your comfort zone and even create other loves (uhh- Ben?). Last year was one of change and learning. Here’s hoping that this year is a little less exciting, but even more rewarding.
Sounds right Mom!
lol, too funny.
This sounds like a remake of our first year of being parents.
Welcome to the club Scratch, everything gets better from here.
