The Downside of Shacking Up...

It's 1 am. I drag myself off the bed cause I have to pee and I go through the usual mental battle. To get up or not to get up...then I hear my mother saying I'll get a bladder infection...so I get up but I'm not opening my eyes. I always walk to the bathroom with my eyes closed at that hour of the morning. I turn out of my room and BAM! I walk into this soft, squishy, hairy mass. There was a scream and then cuss words when I realised my life wasn't in the hands of a home intruder. It was only Lee making his way to bed. I don't know what made me more mad...the fact that I had to open my eyes or that I could have stiffled to death in his belly. The lesson kids - Shacking up is not only immoral, it's dangerous.

Undescribeable

I can't explain to you how this picture makes me feel. All I know is that I can't look at it for too long because it's overwhelming and I can't wrap my mind around how perfect and cute she is. My senses get overloaded and I feel them all at the same time. Happiness, Pride, Fun, Anticipation, Longing, Wanting, Needing...you name it, I feel it with this picture. That ever happen to you?

This Child...

This child... undoes everything inside me, makes me feel so important when she smiles at me, has the most perfect head, is the best behaved baby I've ever known, is so content and easy to please, has a funny smile, let's anybody hold her for long periods, looks cutest in a onesie, smells DIVINE, has the longest eyelashes, is such a loud burper!, loves to watch tv, likes to be held forward, holds her head up so good, kicks and moves her arms and legs like crazy, has the softest skin and hair. This child is not born of my womb but of my heart.
