In love - H

I love being a mom! I love watching baby whether she's sleeping, stretching, making faces, flailing her limbs, crying, feeding, anything! She makes me laugh, and makes me happy like nothing else can. (Marriage is the same too, but in different ways.) Baby's been more fussy the last couple of days though. Maybe it only feels that way b/c I now am the only pair of hands at home to take care of Baby and take care of things around the house in addition to some errands I'd like to run. I'm getting the hang of it though and am still enjoying it.

Baby had her second doctor's appointment today. She gained a pound since being born, and grown about a half inch. I know it's a good thing that she's growing, but sometimes I wish I could freeze time and just soak in the moments that flutter away. I feel like I'm missing things. Is this what motherhood is like? I already imagine her all grown up and ready to leave home for good, and it makes me sad to think about it. It's what I will have prepared her for (hopefully) to be grown up and ready to leave home, but I already don't want my baby to leave. I should focus on preparing myself for that day too.

In other news, E and I discovered that Walgreens refills printer cartridges. Black ink for $10 and colored ink for $15. What a deal compared to $50+ for new cartridges! We refilled our inkjet cartridge - not sure if they refill laser.

Hope you're all having a wonderful day!
