I'm pretty excited for tonight. Ben and I are going on a date to see "39 Steps" at the Overture Center. It's a little hectic coming home from work and getting myself ready to go out and Hazel ready to be babysat when it's on a week night, but I feel incredibly lucky that we're able to go out together and enjoy being just the two of us every now and then. It's a really nice refresher to be able to reconnect and have some fun away...and I love coming home to my smiley, squishy, chunky little baby!
We've been extremely fortunate that we have amazing moms who will babysit Hazel anytime we've asked (and many times when we haven't asked at all!) and friends who have no problem spending a few hours on a Friday night at our house while we go out. I can't imagine raising a baby away from this amazing support center we have. This whole experience of being a parent and having a baby has been such a positive one (okay, the first 3 weeks were rough...but I was expecting that...kind of). More than I even thought it would be, especially this early on.
I think we have the right combination of an amazing baby and a great network of people around us...because it's sure not that Ben and I are doing things correctly! ha ha. We have one hell of a baby who is very patient with us as we learn how to take care of her....and one hell of a cute baby at that!
I feel a little mushy today...I just really think this whole mom thing is taking over me. I knew I would love being a mom, knew I would love my baby...I just don't think I realized how much. It's hit me like a ton of bricks.
I'm going to say it here...I want more babies.
AUGH! Someone come slap me. Now.
