A few thoughts on being a mom

Dunken is two months old now! The past two months have been the longest of my life, but have flown by at the same time.  Dunken already seems huge compared to when we brought him home!  I love seeing him grown and watching his features develop.  I don't really see myself in him at all yet.  I think his chubby cheeks get in the way of seeing who he looks like :).  He does have Jensen's little mouth, lips, and chin though. 

I always knew having a baby would totally change my life and be a lot of work, but I never realized exactly what that meant for me.  Being a mom is more physically and emotionally draining than I ever realized and so so amazing.  Dunken is such a blessing for Jensen and me.  My home is filled with so much more love and peace now.  Even when our little stinker is crying and keeping us up at night ;).  I've never loved anyone quite like I love my little boy, and I know Jensen feels the same way.  I even feel more love toward Jensen.  It's amazing to see a new side of him and the love he has for Dunken.

I could just eat him up.

Pigeon and Dunken

This may seem silly to non pet owners, or even pet owners who aren't weirdly attached to them like I'm attached to my cat, but I was worried about how Pigeon would act once a baby joined our family.  So far she doesn't follow me around or sit on my lap nearly as much as she used to before Dunken, but I think she's finally warming up to him.  Probably because after a month she realizes he's not going away.  She doesn't come near him very often, but occasionally come to sniff.  And she doesn't run away anymore when Dunken cries so I think that's a good sign. :)

Sleepy Head

Whoever came up with the phrase "I slept like a baby" has clearly never had a baby, unless it means they woke up every two hours crying, hungry, and because they wet themselves.  Even though Dunken doesn't always sleep when I want him to he sure is cute when he's sleeping.

Cheeks

Look at those cheeks!  If you need me I'll be home giving them lots of kisses.  Hope you all have a happy weekend!
