Am I the only one that can't handle listening to "You're Gonna Miss This" By Trace Adkins? I mean really. My sneaky Pandora Josh Turner station played it before I could say no. Fast forward thirty seconds into the song and I'm in tears listening to my two babies crying while I try to throw together some dinner.
It was terrible and great all at the same time. I've been feeling pretty stressed and overwhelmed here and there, but I am so thankful for these two little blessings. Sure, they can't be happy all the time. We have about two time frames that make me want to hide but the rest of the day is pretty great.
I love just watching Louis while he eats or just wants to play. I imagine what he's thinking and it's always a tender moment. Millie loves any of my time I can spare (and I love to give it to her) but what really warms my heart is watching her imagination blossom when she plays by herself. She can play for hours with tiny little dolls. It is so incredible.
We're currently having our house painted (hooray!) so I'm staying out of the house and can't load new pictures. To tide you over, I thought I'd share the pictures of Millie and Louis meeting for the first time in the hospital. Enjoy.

| Living by family is great! |

| Millie's first look. I love Karen's face in this picture. |

| Don't you just love Lily's smile? |

| The Bishop even came to see us! He also happens to be Uncle KC. |

| The whole thing was a bit confusing for Millie. Poor thing clung to Buck and I but is all sorted out now. |
So there you have it. Millie and Louis are great friends now (at least Millie worries about Louis, I'm not sure Louis pays her much attention yet). Instead of always asking where Mommy is when I'm not around she now looks for Louis. She still looks for me some though. I love this exhausting time we are having but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't looking forward to many months down the road when they can play together. I'm looking forward to that but I know I'm gonna miss this, too.
wish we could be family that lived close. love this post and yall
ReplyDeleteYou have two precious kids! I love this post too :)
ReplyDeleteniki, i can totally relate to wanting to hide two times a day...for me it is dinner time, bed time and sometimes breakfast time. wait, i can't count, that's three! why is it that everyone gets hungry, hurt or tired at the same time? And why does it always seem to happen when daddy is GONE?! hang in there and know you're not alone!!
ReplyDeletep.s. when are you all planning for baby #3? we've had our first two babies within days of the same due date as yours so I figured we should keep the tradition going for the third! it's also my way of convincing scott that we need a third kid... so we don't ruin the cool tradition we have going with the bagwells ;-)
