The view from up here

You may know already that I love to wear Fi. Being away from her all day after spending 10 months baking her and 3 months with her almost 24/7, I miss that bond that we shared when it was just the two of us [cue Will Smith song here].

Since she's growing so quickly and because I get a limited amount of time with her each day, I feel like every moment I'm not touching her is being wasted. Sure, sometimes it's still a little bizarre to look down & not have a big belly there (OK, who am I kidding, I still have a fairly large belly at the moment) but how can you not smile when you have this face looking up at you?

9 months in.....................................................4 months out

I realize I probably look like a hippie & sometimes we get stares, or whispers, or questions but for the most part we get a lot of positive responses like "I sure wish they had those when I had my kids." I'm sorry they didn't have these back when I was a baby, but I'm sure glad they have them now! It makes me wonder what they will come out with when Fi has her own babies. In 30 years (because I will not be a grandma earlier than that), will I be that lady at IKEA saying I sure wish they had that when I had my baby?
