Tomorrow my littlest baby is going to be three weeks old. It is so hard to believe and has gone so fast. It makes me sad that three weeks has gone by so quickly. I just read sis's post about the lady at LJS who told her and Brad to treasure every moment of their babies lives and that is what I have to remember. I dont want to think about him crawling or walking or when I have to go back to work but just enjoy each day that I have with him and Michael.
Michael is actually gone and at his Grandma Linda's all this week. So for the first week since his birth, it will be just Chance and I this week. Actually, most of the week but not all week. Terry's Aunt Marnie will be in for about 10 days so I know we will be spending Wednesday with her and Terry's mom.
I talked to Michael tonight; he has been gone since Thursday. I miss him dearly already. He will be back a week from today. He was telling about his day today at Grandma Linda's. She lives in the country and they have a creek in front of their house. Michael told me today that he picked up a turtle to put it back into water and stepped on a snake on accident and it bit him. Of course I was freaking out but he said it was no big deal. Of course that's what a boy would say! I was really wanting to speak to Linda about this but he continued to tell me that LInda's husband was telling him about the dangerous snakes in the country and not to touch them, etc, etc. And I know that LInda doesn't let him out of her sight when he is out there so I calmed a little. Still freaking me out! I just want my babies in my sight so I can protect them! Does that ever change? For a mother anyway?
Well, it is bedtime. The baby has eaten and is sleeping for the time being and Terry will turn the tv off after part of the news so it is time for me to catch some zzzz's too!
Pictures to follow tomorrow!

I can't believe it has been 3 weeks either! When are you coming to WV?!
ReplyDeleteYes, babies grow up way too fast! Cherish every moment you have with him because when you go back to work, the time will pass even quicker! And, the answer is no to, "does it ever change that mom just wants her babies in sight so you can protect them?" Not even when they are grown and have babies of their own! That is the hardest part of following the LORD to wherever He chooses! I had to give up living as close as I was to my girls. It isn't as bad being far away from the sons because I know their wives are taking good care of them and, while I love them more than life, moms don't/can't have the same kind of relationship with her sons as she can with her daughters, who basically become her best friends! :) And, that is not to say that my daughters' husbands aren't taking good care of them, it is just that we "girls" have more in common and want to be together more! But I cherish every moment I get to spend with my sons, too!
ReplyDeleteWell, that was a longer answer than I intended to give ya! :)
Love you!
I hope moms can be close to their sons tho because what if I am only blessed with sons and no daughters! :) I dread girlfriend days and then wife days when my boys no longer need me and go on their own. It breaks my heart now even just thinking about it. I need to add that to my prayers!
ReplyDeleteOh, and also momma. I think I can speak for sis and I definitely speak for myself when I say I cherish every moment I get to spend with you! I hate it that we don't live so close any more but love that no matter the distance our relationship stays just as strong. I love you and sis so much!
