Dos Meses

Dear Emmy,

Two Whole Months! Really? I have to go back to work already?!! Really?!?!??

You started sleeeeepinnnnng the niiiiight!! I am singing because I feel rested. Thank you. Truly, thank you! The first time it happened though, I woke up around 5 or 6 in the morning with a horrible jolt and popped out of bed faster than anything, thinking “she’s dead!” Horribly morbid, I know, but I slept so hard and for so long, I didn’t think you had it in you! Oh but you do and now I know, you MUST be mine and daddy’s because we LOVE, LOVE, LOVE our sleep!

Grammy went home to TX a week or so ago. She helped us so much during your first weeks of life. I truly do not know how anyone can start out with their first child like

I am starting work part time (two weeks worth) and it is so hard to be away from you. I am lucky your daddy can stay home with you for a month…that makes me feel a lot better. Since you will be home longer than most kids, I feel like you’re going to have a stronger start than the other kiddos at daycare. I want so badly for you to be healthy and not suffer through ear infections and such. Too many kids have to get those nasty tubes. And it isn’t anyone’s fault; their little ear canals are just too small for the moco to drain properly. (I suppose I should take this time to tell you that I often use the Spanish words in lieu of the English words. Moco=mucus. Not a lot, but sometimes. I can’t help it.)

Te amo, nina. Mucho. Y un dia, soy que entiendes.

Love, your momma
