I feel like a new mom and a grandma all at the same time. You can't give them benadryl anymore??? Its lovely perspective on both sides. I however think a newborn is cake compared to a teenager but I love them all....and they love each other.

Oy! At least a couple times a day I think, Having babies is for young people WTF was I thinking? There are things I love about having a baby again and there are things I really do not love, even a little bit, like sleep deprivation. Not of it matters though when I look at the sweet little smiling face of my beautiful baby boy. I adore him and I'm counting on him to help keep me young.

The Love/love will lift you up.)<br /><br />Here is my one "if I could do it over" thing I would try and do - get a video clip of all the newborn faces they make while they are sleeping. <br />We used to joke "roll program" which is kind of a geeky engineering way of saying he was now running through all the possible expressions he could do with his face as a kind of review while he slept. I only got a partial video and it didn't include that little smile I had seen.<br />Anyway, if you get a chance to watch those faces, please try and get a video. I think you'll be glad you did. That phase doesn't last long.<br /><br />You look great! Continued best wishes to you. <3Kerry S.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-76438739194209308782015-12-08T04:57:22.114-08:002015-12-08T04:57:22.114-08:00You look fantastic!
