She told me she cries a lot now. Is overwhelmed with emotion.
Moms out there…. how familiar does that sound?
I told her it was 100% completely normal as a new mom and it subsides as they get a bit older.
……
I went home that night, and fell asleep watching a movie with my son. Something I’m notorious for. Out after the first 5 minutes. He woke me up… unhappy I had dozed off. I told him to come curl up with me. Which at this age the only part of his tall lanky body that fits on me is his head.
He fell asleep. With his head on my chest, my arms curled around him and his long legs sprawled to the end of the couch.
He looked huge.
And right then.
I cried.
I can’t carry my son to bed anymore. He’s too heavy… and the thought of that broke my heart.
So the crying. Subsides.
But doesn’t go away.
And it’s 100% normal.
……
Oddly enough.. these two could not stop smiling while I was there. I’ve been with them a couple of times and have learned that the serious look… well, they are smilers and I just love that about them. They were genuinely happy. I sure hope their beautiful son inherits that trait!
They were naturals and I’m soooo glad I finally got to meet him (he cooked for a long time and in return for cooking too long he was famous! The 150th baby born in 2017!)
Thanks for making your debut little man! I hope I can watch you grow and grow!
