update?

well, i haven't posted much lately, because, honestly, there just isn't much to post. i'm basically writing this to assure folks that i haven't gone insane with motherhood and run off to the loony bin.

we seem to have settled into somewhat of a routine, which is nice. i remember it seemed not that long ago, i was telling family members, 'i always imagined we'd get up, feed, go for a walk, come home, he'd take a nap, and i'd actually eat breakfast.' and for several weeks now, that has pretty much been true.

there are a few days that doesn't go as planned, we've picked up a co-volunteering shift with a friend of mine at a crisis pregnancy center, and on those days, we leave early enough to dash any hopes of a nap (or breakfast) but it is not really enough to mess up his schedule too much, and he is a very cute form of free advertising.

he almost got a chance at his first job, on a popular tv show needing babies, but i think his eye color is already too brown. (the baby he'd play has light eyes). they could still call but i'm definitely not holding my breath, despite how the casting director seemed to adore him. i'm sure she says the same to all the babies.

aside from that, not much going on, i've caught a bit of a sore throat, and am trying to not get C sick. as soon as i felt it coming on, i resolved i would not kiss him, and within 20 minutes had already failed on that goal, which made me realize just how much i do kiss and snuzzle him and don't even think about what i'm doing, like it's some involuntary reaction to his cuteness or something. i sort of realized the same thing when i'd held my friend's baby a few days before and, as he's practically the same size (this is the one that's 3 months younger) caught myself nearly half a dozen times fighting the urge to kiss and snuzzle him like i do my own, in the space of only a few minutes. luckily what i have doesn't seem all that bad, and seb assured me even if i did refrain from my barrage of affections all the other contact i have with him would pretty much be sufficient to infect him anyway, so, i may as well just kiss him and be happier.
