Superpower
posted in Baby Cakes |I always thought if I could have one superpower, it would be the power to fly. Now, I think I would want the power to manipulate time so I can stop and savor every minute with the Little Man. He’s a little over 12 weeks old and it is incredible how quickly time has flown and how much he has grown! I celebrate every milestone – like his first social smile! – but a part of me laments the fact that he’s putting another piece of his babyhood behind him. I blink and he’s already so much bigger and stronger.
The first month of parenthood was difficult. I think it was a combination of hormones, exhaustion, and stress. I was constantly thinking of how radically our lives had changed overnight and what a life-long, overwhelming responsibility we had undertaken. I loved my baby but I didn’t know him and I was more focused on the lifestyle we had lost. However, I’ve fallen more and more in love with the Little Man everyday and now can’t imagine life without him. Plus, he’s getting more interactive every day and so much more fun to be around!
