God gave me the funniest baby, her name is Edith and she doesn’t laugh, she screeches.

This week someone told me I post too many baby pictures. Someone else told me I am too self centered. Someone told me my stories are annoying. Someone told me my words are hurtful. Someone else told me my posts are too much. Always said it wouldn’t bother me. But it did. So I stopped.

But I’ve been dying to tell someone that Edith doesn’t laugh, she screeches. So I did and now I feel better. 😛

One stands now, one is learning how.

Send baby gates. And coffee.

The thing about having a rainbow baby is you are always a little bit sad. Not all the time, not every day, but it never goes away. It doesn’t come from missing the ones you lost or wondering who they would be, that is it’s own kind of grief. It comes from wondering if you will miss this too. The babies you had next. Will you miss this too? If you aren’t careful? It goes too fast. You weren’t sure it would be and then there they are and you can’t even breathe, you can’t even think, and you definitely can’t blink.

Girls night tonight. Chinese take out, enough nail

Girls night tonight. Chinese take out, enough nail polish to open a salon, a red box movie (remember red box?!), brownies and all the aunties. I was looking forward to it. Except I didn’t sit down long enough to paint my nails, the babies needed me more than usual, Tommy was all sillies soaking in the attention. Any idea of a ‘girls night’ happening without two babies needing held and a little boy who wants glow in the dark toe nails went out the window. (Although next month we are doing it at their house so...)
.
It undid me a little bit. Upstairs trying to get Ira to sleep, I thought my gosh! This is supposed to be fun. I am missing the whole movie and this is supposed to be one thing I get to do that is fun. Can’t Tom handle them for a little bit? But can I tell you, it was fun. Really, really fun.
.
The way Tommy’s eye got bright when he danced around the living room watching us all watch him. They way Edith and Ira quietly watched their aunties faces, excited it was someone besides me. The look on Tommy’s face when we let him watch Men in Black and an alien melted a guy (whoops, off to bed). Auntie saved it by saying he turned into mud. It was really really fun. I didn’t paint my nails or shave my legs or do a face mask but my kid has glow in the dark toe nails now and that’s way better anyhow.
