Today has to have been one of the most lazy days we have had since Cooper was born. We (Coop and I) woke up at 8:00 and he ate, then we drifted off to sleep again and were both not officially awake until about 11:00. I rolled out of bed and went and got him, changed his diaper and fed him again. Then we both sat on the couch and watched dvr'd shows all day it seemed. I did get the 75 birth announcements addressed and ready to send out finally today. That's probably the only thing we did productive all day long. But yet I don't care, because I'm enjoying every little second of special time I have with my son. On a week from Wednesday I go back to work and although I miss the schedule of getting up and getting dressed and feeling productive, I'm already missing seeing my sweet boy all day every day. I will miss him so much.
Lately I've started to see certain things that make him calm and happy that only seem to work if mommy does them. In a way that makes me really feel good. We have a special bond and he knows who I am and he is truly comforted by me. That's a great feeling. Sometimes when he gets really fussy and no one else can seem to calm him all I have to do is take him and hold him stomach first on my chest and I lightly run my hand over his hair and he seems content and "fixed" immediately. Its so sweet and he just cuddles into me, I love it. Another thing is when we can't get him to fall asleep, sometimes the only thing that will work even if he's fussy is for me to lay down next to him. I put him on his side and I lay on my side with my nose touching his and he seems instantly better. He will drift off to sleep very quickly when I do this. Its so sweet to know that having mommies nose touching his and being that close to each other makes him comfortable and calm. I just love my little guy so much.
I don't want to take all the credit away from his daddy however. He seems to do a pretty good job of calming him too. He sure does love his mommy and daddy.
Parenthood is the best, even when your exhausted and tired and run down. These sweet little things and moments still make your heart skip a beat. So special!
I hope your all doing good today.
- Meant to be a mom
- My name is Melissa, My hubby's name is Julian and we have two sweet babies. Our sweet baby boy Cooper. Well I call him a baby boy, he's not quite a baby anymore. We also have a new addition to our family. Blakely is our precious daughter. We are so truly blessed by out two amazing children. My husband and I got married in June of 2003. He is the most amazing supportive and understanding man. I am lucky to be married to such a wonderful man. I was diagnosed with PCOS. I don't ovulate very often. After years of trying, countless IUI'S and a miscarriage we turned to IVF with hopes that God would give us an angel baby to bless our lives. I started to blog to talk with other women who were struggling with infertility. To be able to vent my feelings and have support. Now I enjoy adding in all kinds of great things about my son and his life. We plan on trying to have more children in the future and doing IVF again if need be. But until then we are having the time of our lives enjoying our two little munchkins. GOD IS GOOD!

It's good you are having some lazy days. You might as well get them in while you can. That was such a sweet post on how you calm him down. You are a wonderful mommy! It will be hard when you go back to work but it make those times with Cooper that much more special.
I'm totally cracking up because Daddy took care of Faith this morning before work and when it was time for him to go to work her brought her into bed with me and we just laid together and he giant smile and look of " Hi Mommy!" awoke my heart and it was the best morning to any day I have ever had...
