Things we like- 4 months

Truman is almost 4 months old...4 whole stinkin' months. We've seen Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years come and go already! How is it that I feel like I have blinked my eyes and my child is rolling over, smiling, going to daycare and knocking milestones off the list?

Here are a list of things that Truman currently likes:
1. Mommy and Daddy--no one gets smiles like Mom and Dad
2. The pictures that hang above the bed in the master bedroom
3. Skippy --the black and white dog with his contrasting colors is a delight to look at
4. Harry Potter--audio books play at night
5. Monkey pacifier
6. Baby Bjorn
7. Being outside and going for walks ( Thank goodness for a temperate January so far!)
8. Naked baby time!
9. Baths
10. Kicking and stretching

I am truly trying to enjoy every moment. I've even started to relish our mid-nite feedings as I know before too long they too will be put on the shelf with the preemie clothes. I know that this list will soon change, especially #1. But for now when I walk into Truman's room and he greets me with a smile, I know that if I could, I would stop time so that I could have that moment forever. Instead I sock away that memory in the safest place I can--my heart.

Grief

My grief is palpable, it fills up every corner of the room and is pressing on my chest. I can feel it everywhere. It's new grief so it's so overpowering its in everything I touch, everything I taste, everything I look at and every other sense I call upon. I'm not sure I have much more I can say in this moment. Numbness stopped and the post numb tingles really hurt. I love you dear friend...Godspeed
