My baby is smiling. He has been off and on for a few weeks now, but it is really hard to catch it on camera. He will stop as soon as I bring the camera out, and then start up again once I put it away. And then it often seems that he decides to have a "smiling session" as my husband calls it during his 3 am feeding. But right now we are having a smiling session and it is lots of fun.
I continue to get comments from friends about how happy I am now that I have a baby. And they are right, I am so happy. I am having a smiling session. I have been told that I haven't stopped smiling. I was also told by one friend that she didn't realize how unhappy I was, because I am so happy now. That seemed a little strange, I think it was a poor worded comment, but I am over it. I have also been told by a friend that she did not realize how badly I wanted a baby, but now she can how much I wanted one because of how much joy and happiness my little guy has brought into my life.
It's true. I haven't stopped smiling. And having my little guy has brought so much joy into my life. I am enjoying my smiling session. I smile when I am sleep deprived or changing a stinky diaper, which I need to do right now. :D
ooh eeh, that was a stinky and big one. An outfit changing one. He didn't last but 5 min in the outfit I put him in for the day. Good thing he has more clothes than me. :D
Smiling session is a great term. I like that your lives are filled with them. I feel very inspired by how you are letting joy sink into the core of yourself. I have a hard time doing that and it's very helpful to learn from a pro.
ReplyDeleteI know just what you mean. When I had my daughter I realized a very deeply entrenched anxiety that I would never be a mother was lifted and I felt like an entirely new person. Others notice it too. And when I speak about my daughter people say I beam and always comment that I must really love motherhood. And they are right, I do. I'm so glad you found your joy too!
