Do you ever look back at something that has happened and wonder how you got through it? It's like once it is over, you could not imagine doing it again. I sort of feel that way about the last six and a half weeks. Things have calmed down so much and I am having so much fun watching Cole go from a wobbly-headed newborn to an alert, smily baby. About a week ago, I had to go to the hospital to meet with a lactation specialist. I saw a girl there who had obviously just given birth. I looked at her and was so grateful that it was not me. The adjustment period, in hindsight, it really not that long. But when you are in the throes of it all, it seems interminable. And it is not that all things are easy now - just managable.
It is funny because as I write this, Mia is singing and jumping and not napping in her crib. She talks to Elmo and Minnie Mouse (they are in bed with her) and sings her ABCs. Ha!
But I took the two kids by myself to the mall today. It was the first time that I have taken them without Chris or my mom. It was great! Mia was wonderful and in a good mood. I did not buy anything - we just walked around and enjoyed being out of the house.
How am I going to go back to work in two and a half weeks?!?! I mean, look at those sweet faces!
