Presense

I can't believe how fast time keeps speeding by. March is right around the corner. Ever since baby K was born, my life has just taken off into the fast lane. The only time we have to unwind is during the weekend. It's nice that it's been cold because we have an excuse to stay in, but warmer weather is coming and baby K is getting bigger and more antsy. I have a feeling we will be spending lot's of time at the playground and pool.

Work has also been keeping me extremely busy. But once the work hours are done and I'm staring into baby K's eyes, everything else just falls away. It's really tough sometimes to not bring work home. And there are days when I'm a bit frazzled and stressed, then I tend to be grumpy but when I feel that edge around baby K, I stop and check myself. He is a reminder to truly be in the moment. Because if I can't be fully present around him, I find myself losing patience. And patience is definitely something that baby K has taught me. When he's fussy and crying non stop, it's up to mommy to figure out what's wrong. Most of time, it's just from being tired.

Lastly in his presense, I try to always be cheerful. No matter how hectic my day may have been, when I go pick him up he always has the biggest smile when he sees me and it immediately sets things right again. He gets so excited to be around me, it's the most amazing feeling. To love this other little person so incredibly much and to see it reciprocated, I just can't even begin to capture it into words. Overall, it really just makes me feel blessed.
