Nap Time Thoughts

Right now, I'm laying in my big comfy bed, with my sleeping baby laid across my chest. I can't stop kissing his little head, and all his soft little baby hairs keep sticking to my lips. He smells like milk, and clean Dreft laundry soap. His breathing has a quiet little whistling to it and his chubby dimpled fingers are balled in a fist up by his mouth. I sure love him. More than I thought I would (and thats alot.)....
You know what I was thinking about? Hindsight. Hindsight is kind of a crazy thing. Most things in my life are BETTER in hindsight. Do you know what I mean? At church on Sunday we were talking about prayers being answered. And we decided we pretty much only can tell a prayer has been answered, when looking back in hindsight. That terrible moment you wondered 'Why would Heavenly Father let this happen?" In hindsight, you'll see it worked out for the best. Promise. Another example, Pregnancy. Something i complained often about, now I think of fondly. It was miraculous and too short. My baby being days old, everyone telling me "Enjoy it while it lasts" I kind of brush that to the side because it didn't SEEM to be passing fast. Yesterday I was at Target and saw several mothers with teeny red NEW newborns. I looked down at my plump 6 week old and realized how quick time really is flying. And now I'm one of Those moms, saying "They grow up so fast!". I assume all moms are those moms though.

You know how you always tell me my posts make you cry? Well, congratulations. I'm a sniffling mess now.

Sigh. It does go fast. Lindsey already looks huge.

And what's up with the stitch removal and no pain meds???
