6 weeks

When you think about it in school terms, 6 weeks is a long time. It seems like a six weeks goes by so slow because you are just counting down the 6 week periods before summer break. You think, please, can this go by any slower?!?

But, when you think of it in your own baby terms, 6 weeks is not a long time...not a long time at all. Tear.

Yes, Michael Lance is 6 weeks and 2 days old! Tear. How can that be? 6 weeks and 2 days ago, this baby was born. 6 weeks and 2 days ago, I as hearing this boy cry for the first time and thinking it was the most beautiful noise I've ever heard...today, I wonder how I can make him happy so he'll stop. Tear. 6 weeks and 2 days ago, I saw my husband put on his first diaper...today he finished up what I started because I got poop all over me. Tear. 6 weeks and 2 days ago, I didn't know how my life was going to change...today, I don't know what I did without this boy. Tear.

Oh my goodness. Tear. As I'm typing, we are listening and watching to the monitor...listening to him not going to sleep in his crib! Tear. Yes, you read it right...crib. It's so big and he's so little. Tear.

We said before he was born that we'd keep him in our room for 6 weeks. Tear. Now, remember, I teach school and 6 weeks is a long time. NO IT'S NOT! Tear. I'm not sure this momma is ready for her baby boy to 'grow up' into his crib. Tear.

6 weeks...goes by way too fast!
