Back to Reality

Well, I am sitting here tonight and can't help but think about the past 13 weeks that have past.  The time has gone so quickly.  I was putting Norah to bed tonight and sat in her rocker with her for a minute before I put her down.  I got all choked up thinking about the nights I spent in that chair trying to nurse her at midnight and how sleepy I was and how frustrating the whole experience was.  Then, I think about watching Drew sit in that rocker for the first time and read a story to her.  I think about all the mornings I got to spend with her while I was drinking my coffee and she was laying in her Boppy pillow right next to me, cooing and smiling.  I know these days are not over because I still have the weekends, but everything changes now.  It is time for the next chapter.....I'm not sure I am happy to embark on the next chapter, but I know we are going to be creating new memories.  Drew and I will get to spend the mornings together getting her ready, Norah is going to go to daycare and make lots of new friends, and I will get back to my job where I will have my other children to take care of.  We are so blessed and it has been such a remarkable 13 weeks and we just can't wait to see what the next many, many weeks brings in our lives!  

I know it has only been 13 weeks, but thought I would go back and reminisce already.
