I've heard over and over since Greg was born to savor it all when he's so small and savor each moment no matter his age!
I took that to heart, so I practice mindfulness when I am with him. I stop and think of what's happening and soak in the moments. I do what it takes to breastfeed as much as I am able to outside of work because I know it won't last forever. During these younger months, we are doing what it takes to either take Greg with us or skip out on things. With all that said, we are struggling to make our work situations more feasible to be at home more with Greg. Prayers would be so much appreciated for my work to allow me to decrease my hours and for Travis to be able to increase his income.
Tears return every so often for various reasons and more recently for when I'm thinking about our labor days and our hospital postpartum stay. It was all so much.
Recently I have felt connected, whether it's spiritual or otherwise, with a friend who had a baby yesterday. When I was at yoga I had a "dropping/contraction" type feeling in my uterus three times just a few minutes after her boy was born--like 4-6 minutes!! I really thought about her a lot the last two months as she's been going through the end of her pregnancy. As we discussed, God works in mysterious and awesome ways!
This last week I have also come to figure out the kissing baby phenomena :) I used to just touch my cheek to his cheek or head, but now I am kissing his cheeks!
P.S. He's doing well potty training US. We have 4-10 catches per day!! It's all about watching his cues and learning his elimination communication.
