My Mama has been kinda mopey.
You see, she is leaving one of her 1st loves.
Her job.
She 'takes care of babies'.
Mama says she takes care of Mamas & their babies.
She loves it.
A LOT.
But...
she's got a new love now.
Me.
She told me this morning that Daddy will be feeding me breakfast in the mornings.
Daddy will be taking me to GoGo's house
I will be eating lunch there instead of with her.
I'll be napping
or
NOT
at her house now.
BUT
Mama will be picking me up now.
Not that I don't like it when Dad picks me up,
it's just that it's been the other way around for so long.
Mama
will
be
home
at
night.
for dinner
for wrestle time
for jumping on da 'twampoween' time
for reading time
for cuddling time
and for tucking me in
and singing me lullabys
So, you see, this is bittersweet for her.
She really loves her peeps at the hospital.
You know who you are!
You have seen her through:
dating my Daddy for 10 years
A quick engagement
A Vegas Wedding
a long 5 year wait for a decision to have a baby
a long pregnancy
a long labor
a long delivery
a long maternity leave
tearful phone calls during maternity leave
(I mean a LOT of phone calls)
she loves you
and will miss all of you terribly
but i won't lie...
I think it's GREAT!
This totally made me cry! I am sorry that you are leaving the baby scene because you were absolutely awesome in there but I am super happy for you and your family. I know that having a more "normal" routine will be great!!! You will be awesome at whatever you choose to do!
ReplyDeleteLove ya,

Natalie,
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy for you and know it's a hard but wonderful decision to make for your family. Just know that you touched so many lives while you were there and you helped so many through one of the most wonderful and emotional times in their lives. I'm so glad to have met you. You were wonderful blessing to Blake and I as new parents feeling our way through the first days of parenthood. Good luck!
