a little bit of this and that

So in keeping with my first post in which I promised you I'd go back a little and start from the beginning.. here it is!

I was born on Nov 9 ... just joking.. I know that MY beginnings are not quite what we're all hoping for!

SO my little peanut was born Oct 6, 2010.... just 81/2 short months ago.. ALTHOUGH.. those 8 1/2 months when he was inside me didn't feel quite that short! lol.. Perspective really is an amazing thing.  After horrid labour (really though who has had good labour? AND if you HAVE had a great amazing wonderful labour experience.. PLEASE keep it to yourself! :)) my lil gapher entered the world.  In that moment I think I decided only children were the way to go! lol...

In the hospital he uttered not a peep... no crying nothing! And in our new parent naiveté Wado and I declared our boy to be perfect... (he doesn't even cry!)  oh boy... isn't the newness of parenthood wonderful in that you really have no idea WHAT is coming :).... My wonderful son saved all his wails for the privacy of our own home... (perhaps he wanted to continue with that 'perfect' image in front of others.) The next four months were a daily scramble of what is wrong with him! Did you feed him? YES... does he need to be changed? NO I just changed him. Rock him, bounce him, burp him... try rubbing his belly... maybe its gas... oh boy... Am i painting a familiar image for you? I remember a friend of mine saying once " I didn't want to throw my daughter out the window... I wanted to JUMP!" lol... oh  the joys of the early days.
And yet my mother would comfort me with.. it won't last forever. If he just wants to be rocked then rock him. Don't worry about a clean house or food on the table. SHOWERS? A thing of the past. Just snuggle and snuggle and snuggle some more.
At the time... when you're head is ringing with crying it sure does feel like forever doesn't it!  I remember one day my husband came home from work and I met him at the door with our son in his car seat. I wouldn't even let him in the house... i handed him the carseat and our boy and said, "GO! I need at least one hour of not hearing any crying!"  Bless his heart, he did just that! :)

But at some point, that all changed. My sister in law is forever telling me to write things down cuz i'll forget... and I have :(  forgotten that is.... SO this blog is also to help me remember! My way of writing things down.

Now I do believe I DO have the perfect child! lol yeah right.....

Today has been all snuggles b/c he has a fever and is not feeling all too good.  I love it when he's in his snuggly moods because the more active he gets the less he seems to want to snuggle until one day he'll be like my 7 yr old nephew who doesn't want any hugs and kisses... :(  For the time being i'm still his entire world and I surely love those adoring eyes that look at me and say, "Momma. how I love you."

Forgive me for my rambling - not sure if i'm indeed doing the whole blog world properly (are there rules to this?) In any case.  That's it for today. Off to do more Mommying. (yes its a word)
