I have not officially done my hair in about a week( thank god for messy buns!). I miss my friends and life outside but I know it will return soon enough. The difference this time around is I am actually enjoying this crazy nutty squirreled away from reality stage. I am comforted when I hold baby Jack, I am amazed by his perfection, I love when I capture glimpses of his eyes open. Knowing all too well that this stage will rapidly pass by and before you know it they are 7 years old and not wanting to cuddle.
Jack is teaching me about living in the present and soaking it in ( esp when he starts pooping mid diaper change!) that all the other stuff that is messy and undone can stay like that for awhile. Even though it's hard for me to let all that other stuff go :)
One of the most amazing things about this birth has been the rally of support, friendship, and gifts that friends and family have been pouring out. Even though I am in this cocoon I know I have so many people to reach out to if I need them. It reminds me of the Pay it forward movement, I feel like everything I have helped other people with is returning to me tenth fold.
Maybe that was the reason for all the rainbows we saw during this pregnancy. A sign that everyone's love and support is continuous just as a rainbow stretches across a continuous skyline.
