2 Months Old

Our little Dean Douglas is officially 2 months old today! Wow. It's hard to believe. He has his 2 month check-up on Wednesday and I'm anxious to see where he falls on the charts. Ya see, this little boy is actually a big boy, and I'm thinking I'm about to get some proof. It's very exciting. Not sure why, but I know I'm not alone with this little idiosyncrasy.

These past few months have been filled with constant changes. Dean has grown so much, but really, so have all of us. Funny, I can't even imagine him not being part of our family. That happens so instantaneously, it's pretty neat.

On one hand it feels like I've been speeding through a time warp with blinders on, unaware of what's going on in the outside world. Solely focused on my little bubble. On the other hand it feels like time has stood still. Like nobody has noticed that I haven't had time to return every phone call. Doesn't really matter I guess.

Maybe there should be a sign somewhere warning women of this strange-perception-land. I can think of a few times in my life where such a sign would have been helpful.

Interestingly, they say hormones don't return to normal until a year post-partum. That's kind of a scary thought. As if your obgyn is saying, "Sit tight ladies...the roller coaster is slowing...but don't jump off just yet."

Anyway, the little man has 2 months under his belt.
Happy little birthday, tough guy.
