Precious Time

I've been telling myself I won't post anything here until I write a thorough post detailing the ways in which my life is different now with a baby, how I love that my time is not my own, how I've been freed of my terrible fault of laziness....but honestly I'm not sure when that time will come. So here's something short and lacking in depth:

I am so very happy. So in love with this baby and the relationships forming between he and his big sisters. It's hard to get away. When he sleeps I'm either doing laundry or spending time with the girls. We indulge in bike rides and swimming and reading together while Kilian naps in his bed, his car seat or his pram. Housekeeping is sacrificed as are many other things, but that's OK. In the evenings I'm too tired to write a post or read much, but I've been enjoying curling up on the couch, watching movies with my husband. Life is all about the big and little people around me right now, and I wouldn't have it any other way. It is so very good.

If I don't get to anything much more meaningful than a few words or pictures here for a while, you know why. It's all about Love. :)

Enjoy this season and those sweet ones around you! But know that we always love even the tiniest glimpse of baby cheeks (or thighs).

As it's meant to be during this time. :) Enjoy!

P.S. Our church has a tradition of a mother staying away from church and as many outside-the-home responsibilities as possible for about 40 days. It's partially to allow the mother to heal, partially to give the family and baby time to adjust to one another, and there are other reasons, I'm sure.

I've often thought that mothers who have adopted should have the same period to bond with their new baby and adjust the family relationships. I don't know what a priest would say about this, but it makes sense to me!
