mistakes we laugh about

hi sweet boy,

momma made a mistake.

i tried to use my nursing skills and my otoscope to look in your ears 

and thought there was nothing wrong.

i thought that you were just sick with a cold and you would get over it soon.

it's been a few days now.

you've been so sad, and have struggled eating.

yesterday i took you to see dr. clayton.
he found infections in both your ears.
momma felt terrible.
i was really sad about it.
you and i cuddled all night again.
i just want you to feel better.
you seemed to have slept better last night.
and you woke up smiling and cooing.
i think the medicine is kicking in.
i love you, my little man (you were 14 lbs 5 oz yesterday at 3.5 month old)
and i will love you forever,
momma

(an e-mail i sent baby c this morning)

(yes, like the google commercial)

cal spent the day with grandma while j worked and i was at school.

she's been such a lifesaver!

it was comforting to know my babe was in good arms.

i came home to a clean house, a clean, sleeping baby and homemade chicken noodle soup!

my mom on the other hand had presents from cal all over her clothes.

the best thing happened tonight,

calvin laughed. like really laughed.

he's done a few random chuckles here and there, 

but tonight he thought his dad was hilarious.

enjoy:
