It has been many moons since my last post. Life has been flying by at light speed; my tiny newborn is already a five-week-old. We've settled into a routine these last five weeks. Sully eats and sleeps when he needs to and the rest of us adjust our schedules to accomodate him. Eventually, we will all by on the same schedule. Eventually.
Today I went to lunch at our favorite Japanese restaurant, then went to Barnes and Noble to buy a gift for my niece. It was a low-key way to spend a Friday afternoon -- so low-key that Sullivan spent the day asleep as we ventured out. I nearly wept huge crocodile tears of happiness just to be out of the house.
The past few weeks I've spent nearly all of my time inside, recovering from my c-section, confusing my days and nights, bonding with the tiny person I've been caring for. After a couple weeks, I grew accustomed to my new schedule -- indeed, to my new life and the outside world seems strange, as though all sorts of events have taken place and I am privy to none of them. The world outside of my house just feels strange. Life has gone on without me. I am nearing the end of my restrictions and will be able to drive again and will soon have to head back to work -- something I am not quite ready for. I've enjoyed seeing the same little face all day long and will miss him terribly when it is time to send him to daycare. But, I am comforted at least by the thought that he will be with Jude during the day. Jude is already protective of his tiny sibling and has shown himself to be a loving brother.
I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving, to finally separating my butt from the couch and to introduce Sully to the extended family. This year in particular I am thankful and I don't want to ever forget it.
