Hi Baby E,
I think you had your first fit of jealousy tonight. Your dad and I went to Bob and Alicia's house and I got to love up little Itty Bitty Levi. As soon as we got there, you were going nuts. When I was holding him, you were going nuts. When I gave him back to his dad, you calmed down. I don't think you liked sharing me with him. You were ok when your dad held him but that is probably because you couldn't sense that :)
I learned a lot in those couple hours we spent with the Wilsons. Most importantly, I was holding that baby and I was so enamored with him and so overwhelmed with thoughts of you. I can't wait for you to be here! Not for another 12 weeks or so but darn it, I just can't wait. He was all curled up in a ball laying on my chest and I could just imagine how that is going to be with you. He was making the cutest faces and I just can't wait to see your silly expressions. I told your dad that I can't imagine ever putting you down - I liked holding little Levi that much. I know - very naive of me but I think it will take a couple of weeks for the newness of you to wear off! Overall, I walked away counting down the days until you get here!
But, not all is the smell of baby powder and Johnson's baby shampoo! That little one is still trying to get into his routine - when to eat, when to sleep, when to be fussy. Poor Bob and Alicia just looked like they needed a good night's sleep. As much as I am told that sleep will come to an end when you get here (and I am sure Alicia was told too), I think I am in denial. I think in my head you are the exception to the rule. I am sure Bob and Alicia thought that too :) I have it that you will be in your Amby sleeping, swaddled sleeping and only awake to coo at me and eat. I am in for a rude awakening. It was good to see so it opens my eyes a little!
But, even after seeing the reality of life with a newborn, I was more in love with you than ever and I hope these 12 weeks or so fly by and we are holding you and loving you up like Bob and Alicia are loving up Levi!
PS - now, you are punishing me and are not moving at all. You are showing me a trick or two and teaching me that you are the only little boy allowed in my life!
