The sleepless nights
The baby's cries
The poopy diapers
The spit upon clothes
I must ask myself: Why did I choose this?
The cooing smiles
The sweet baby smell
The snuggles
The love given freely
I have my answer.
These past three weeks have been a special time to bond with Peter. Doug was able to stay home for two weeks and my sister Brin came for a week. While they were here I was able to stay in my room with baby all day long if I wanted. We could snuggle and sleep and just look into each other's eyes. The sleepless nights didn't bother me because I was able to sleep when he did during the day. Now, however, things have changed. Reality has hit. Doug is back to work and my sister must return to her life and husband. I have to get up and be up with the other children whom I'm sure don't remember me I've been gone so long. Sleepless nights are now catching up and it's time to loose the belly that didn't leave at birth. Would I change my life and choices I have made? Not for anything! I love my husband and children so much. I'm just glad that I was able to enjoy Peter for these past three weeks before I have to focus on other things. I still love to steal those snuggle times though.
