Everyone Says
Everyone says that time speeds up when you have kids. It hasn't yet. Maybe that happens later. Pretty E is three months old now, and it seems like she has been our baby for one hundred years. I keep thinking, only three months? It's not that I want her to grow up faster or anything.
Everyone also says that having a kid will make me feel old. This is only true because when I put her on her little play mat and sit down next to her, when I try to stand up, I am all, "Eh! Me achin' bones!"
Everyone says, "Oh, you don't even understand what it's going to be like when you have the baby!" Motherhood, so far, has been pretty much like I expected it would be. I love her more than anything else in the entire world, just like I knew I would.
The other day W and I were in bed, waking up for the day. I could hear Pretty E in her crib making her wakeup sounds, so I went and got her, and the three of us cuddled in bed for a little while. That was a perfect moment.
I hope there are lots more like that.
