I am exhausted today. Wiped out emotionally and physically. You slept in your crib last night. Alone. Away from your mom. Like a big boy. Your mom was the one who whimpered all night with the monitor stuck to her head waiting for you to cry to tell me to come get you. Your mom was the one who had to rush in twice to make sure you were still breathing. You? You were fine. Your dad? He snored all night long. I guess we now know exactly who was the big advocate of you sleeping with us. I missed you so but it did work out good and I bet I relax a bit more tonight than I did last night. Right now, you are sleeping on my chest before I get ready to go out. I let you do that because I know pretty soon you will be too big to do it anymore. Each day, you change a little bit. You are more alert, make new noises, and just grow into a big boy. Each day, I whine to your dad that my little newborn is gone and he rolls his eyes at me.
Tonight, I am deserting you and going out with Debbie for her birthday. Your dad says you two are going trolling for chics at Home Depot. :) I hope you find a rich one that will pay my alimony and child support demands.
We took some silly pictures of you today and this is my favorite. See, you don't look like a newborn baby anymore - you look like a big boy!
