While you are sleeping

Right now it is snowing outside, actually snowing with big, fluffy white snow flakes that are trickling ever so delicately onto the sleeping surface.

 

Speaking of sleeping, all is quiet in my house as you, my snoozing baby, lay peacefully on the couch. Every so often you stir during your slumber and move your sweet baby lips. 

The last few days have been quite eventful for you as you have now sprouted your two bottom teeth. The excess drool dribbling from your chin, the eye rubbing, the constant longing to be close to mama and the painful chewing on innocent fingers. I absolutely l.o.v.e you as this little baby of mine and feel so blessed that God gave you to me. A few days ago, when we were at a get together with other mamas and babies, you were sleeping in your bjiorn on my chest. Then, you woke up smiling and blinking your big blue eyes and checked out the other ladies around us. One woman recognized you from clear across the room (who was cuddling her own sweet 3 month old I might add) and beelined over to us and proclaimed "Oh my gosh, I LOVE her! What is her name? How old is she? She's SO adorable..." I'm your mom--therefore I'm allowed to brag--but I do apologize for not being modest about it! I'm just proud to be your mama and it's nice to hear other people love you as well.

As two weeks have gone by, we've only got...um 6 weeks to go until your Daddy comes home. We occupy our time with fun and games around the house. Just as you fall asleep, I try to sneak  in some much needed cleaning, only to stop half way through a loaded dishwasher because you, my little one, are already awake. Your not the best napper, but you are a great sleeper so I feel that makes up for it. Projects/organization/cleaning are being started only to stop in unfinished piles so that I can tend to your each and every need. You don't like to be out of eyeshot from me and are always turning around to make sure I'm not far behind. Although this can be tiresome not being able to accomplish as much as I used to when I was just Bridget, I love my life so much more as Bridget, mom to my baby Roo. You do something new everyday and teach me so much. I am sad to recognize how fast the time is flying by but I just love this new little person that I see growing before me.

Thank you for picking me to be your mama and showing me how much my love can span for one sweet little person. You are amazing.
