Black.

I just realized I wore black to work for 3 days in a row. 

A coincidence? 

Or maybe a symbol of how I feel inside this week?

:::sigh:::

Trying to move on...

It's hard.

I try to stay busy so I don't have to think about it.

But when I have time on my own to reflect, I get sad.  Little things remind me of what I had last week that I don't have anymore.  The homemade cornbread that I named my "pregnancy cornbread" looks disgusting.  The shelves I started organizing in the new baby's room can go away now.  The Google searches I did for big brother shirts need to be erased from my history.

I'll get through it, and I'll move on, but the memories stick with me forever.

Birthday Gifts

Our schedule got a little messed up with all the party preparation, so we ended up giving Connor his presents on Saturday morning before family came over.  He opened his presents in his diaper, but so what?

When he saw this wrapping paper, he said, "Kitty happy birthday" because he knew Kitty's birthday present from a couple weeks ago was wrapped in the same paper.

He got a Mickey Mouse camera!  He loved this when we were at the Disney store a couple months ago, so I snuck away to buy it that day.

He got a sock monkey counting book that he loves!  He can look through it and point out all the sock monkeys that look like the ones he has.

He also got some new fall shirts, a no-spill bubble container, and a kite for the upcoming kite fest we're going to!
