A beloved cousin had her baby yesterday. (Congratulations!)
I think that's probably the best thing about Facebook - I get to see this little love's face instantly.
He's super cute.
Yesterday, while at the library there was a mama with her two week old baby girl. So cute.
I congratulated the mama on her awesome status (at the library with older child and baby, fully dressed, no baby puke visible anywhere, awake).
The proximity of all these babies makes a mama think.
My babies are so big.
I said to the Wee One yesterday, "Good morning, baby one" (that's what I call him, "baby one").
And he says, "I'm not a baby! I'm a yiddle boy!".
And I said, "You're right, Bud, you are a little boy, but you'll always be my baby one".
And he countered with, "No".
Touche, little guy, touche.
Now don't get yer knickers in a twist - there's no 3rd baby on the horizon for this little family - but sometimes a mama gets wistful, you know?
For me, it has been some of the longest, hardest, most humbling days of my life - but at the same time - I blinked and it's over - they're big boys now.
Not a shred of babyhood to be found anywhere, except in a mama's memory.
Congratulations, cuz - smell that baby's head for all us wistful mama's, okay?
really taps into the feelings of all us moms ..remember you were my baby too..love you kisses to the little guys too..
