This morning I had to take Easton to the dentist because he developed some kind of puss pocket on his gum yesterday. Well, he told me about it yesterday, but I don’t know when he got it. He has to have the tooth pulled because it was a really big filling and since it got infected they’re just going to take it out which they will do next Tuesday after the swelling goes down. Mom Edgel was kind enough to come over and hang out with the kiddies so that I didn’t have to take all 4 of them with me and so Logan wouldn’t miss his nap. Thank goodness for that.
Mr. Logan was fussy again today. He has not been his normal self this whole week, maybe even last week. Unless this is the new normal for him, in which case I say no, thank you. I suppose he’s not bad, but for the first 3 months of his life he did NOT want to be held. Well, Mama got a little spoiled after 3 months of independence. He’s also been fussing when I put him down for his naps instead of just going right to sleep. He’ll still go to sleep but I have to put his binkie in a couple times before he’ll go to sleep. I hope this passes. I’m used to a perfect little baby. No fussing, no attention needed. Is that too much to ask? I’m ok holding him sometimes, but not all the time. I have too much going on in my life, especially Monday-Wednesday when Jacob isn’t home. What’s funny is that I don’t think he’s any worse than Easton or Teagan ever were as babies. They needed more attention, and I considered them good babies. I just got a little spoiled with Logan, that’s all. I still love him, and he’s still adorable, but I need some time. I know, the baby stage passes quickly. I did move him to a 4-hour schedule today. Hopefully he will do well with that.
We spent most of the day home doing not a lot. I did some cleaning, some cooking, some baby-holding. Later in the evening, I took the boys on a walk around our neighborhood. They rode their bike and scooter, and I pushed Logan in his car seat in the stroller. He really enjoyed our walk, and I love how much the boys love to go on bike rides. We’ll have to make that a regular thing. Babies seem to like being outside for some reason, and if Logan likes it, we will do it for sure.
Tonight as we were kneeling to say our prayers, Jacob looked at me and sweetly told me how beautiful I am. My hair was flat against my head, no makeup on, so it was certainly not my shining moment, but he meant it. He always does, and I can feel how beautiful he thinks I am. Love is blind. But I love my blind man, he is so sweet to me. It’s funny what you think of when you’re a teenager and you think of being in love. And then you get married and learn what love REALLY is.
True love is peeing the bed the first week of your marriage because you just had emergency surgery, and you’re on a pain killer for the first time in your life, so you’re apparently so out of it that you don’t even notice you’re peeing. And then you wake your new husband up to tell him that the bed is soaked, and there’s no-one to blame it on but yourself, but he nonchalantly changes the sheets in the middle of the night and acts like it’s no big deal that his new wife just peed the bed. True story of true love. It’s so much better than you ever imagine it will be. I didn’t understand the depth of the love that a husband and wife have for each other until I married this sweet man. I’ll keep him always.
