Freedom
June 1, 2010 - 9:55 pm EST
Now that Katie is getting older, she’s giving me more and more time to focus my attentions elsewhere. She’s content a lot of the time to play with her toys, walk around the living room and her usual walking aids (couch, tables, etc). It’s nice to be able to get more cleaning and leisure time at the same time.
With all that being said, my crazy brain is starting to miss the little baby. I’m thinking back fondly of being pregnant and having a baby. I suppose it’s all normal, but it seems kinda silly to enjoy this new freedom yet want to give it all up to another baby.
We still are waiting a while yet. We haven’t even gotten through her first birthday yet!

I mean sure she’s doing cool stuff, like gaining her independence, and giving you time to breathe, and she’s completely adorable. But then.. she was so tiny and real honest to goodness baby-cute. And when she’s the only thing you have time for, that’s kinda okay, because you love her and everything else is kinda trivial anyway. Especially when you’re looking back at it and can allow yourself to forget the annoying parts.
If it helps, I know I’m really going to miss seeing this particular version of Lillian’s sweet face, but I look towards the stage where Katie is now, and it looks like a light at the end of a tunnel. Uh oh, she’s stirring, time to get comfortable on the couch with the boppy ready again.
PS – Breastfeeding is SO much easier the second time. Just as time consuming, though.
