Baby, my baby

10 things I want Superman to remember about his life right now.

1. Your mommy and daddy love your guts!

2. Mama B can't get enough of you.

3. You laugh when I say, "doggy doggy doggy doggy," really fast.

4. You get an excited, toothless grin anytime daddy walks into the room.

5. You love it when mommy kisses your chin. You giggle everytime.

6. You gummy-chew on everything!

7. Your drool soaks all of your shirts down to your belly button.

8. You eat rice cereal like a Pro.

9. You like to play in the stand up bouncer and roll around on the floor.

10. You are absolutely, positively perfect in everyway, and I love you always!

Tired but happy

Thank you so much birth mommy for helping me at school. You didn't have to, but you did. You got to see me at my worst, most unorganized state, late at night and frantic to get things done. Thanks for not judging me, but laughing with me instead. Thanks for listening to my ranting about how Cristmas has become too comercialized and how bugged I was that my school computer would not print my newsletter. Thanks for using 'the worst tool', the exacto knife to patiently cut he plastic lamenant from the folder to make pockets for cards. Thank you for passing out the papers for the sweet kiddos to work on tomorrow morning. Thank you for being a sincere friend. 

Thank you for trusting me to make good choices and for trusting me to still work even though baby is in my care. Thank you for allowing me to be the mommy to sweet baby boy. I am still amazed that I get to be his mom. It hurts to know that I took that from you, but I can't let that bother me. I guess I didn't take it away, but you now have a different mommy title and role. Nevertheless, I have to  have baby be my number one focus. I will focus on baby and I will enjoy the life I have while growing a deeper friendship with you.

Thank you for being you.

A little piece of my heart died today when I buried my sweet dog.  J and I can't stop crying.  We cleaned out all of her things and packed them up.  It's too hard to see them when she is not here to enjoy them.  I miss her terribly.  She healed me when I was at the peak of depression. I know this life is just that, immortal, but it sure stinks to lose anyone or thing that you love.
