Rise and Shine

That's what we're trying to do this Monday to make up for last week, which was lackluster to say the least. Nicky is finally feeling better and more like himself, though we are all off of our schedules and, being the ridiculous creatures of habit that we are, bumbling around a bit. We're still a little tired and stressed, having some trouble ridding ourselves of the excess adrenaline that floods your system while you watch your little one suffer. It's the most frustrating and overwhelming feeling. A couple days of getting back in the swing of things should do the trick. And we finally got some rain! Oh, things have been so hot and dry here. The days have been pretty and sunny, but I love a green lawn and thriving flowers and my hose and I are just not an acceptable substitute for a nice, drenching storm. I couldn't have been more excited to wake up to gray skies and thunderclaps. Anyway, things are looking up.

Last night my husband made a new video from older footage of Nicky. I was really touched because I don't remember or recognize any of the videos. I guess they're techically "outtakes" but I find them adorable. It strikes me how different, yet how much the same, Nicky looks then compared to now. I love his big smile so stinkin much. Anyway, this makes me look forward to those first quiet months with a newborn (which probably won't be so quiet this time around!).

Have a good week!
