Jake the dog and Finn the hu-man
When River started to show signs of tiring we cuddled up on the couch and I started to watch "Ghost Adventures." I love ghost stories and scary movies! As he was drifting off to sleep he wrapped his chubby little hand around my finger. I had to shift once and he lost his grip on my finger. Though he was asleep his hand immediately sought my finger again and wrapped around it.
Though each month I am disappointed to not find myself amongst the lucky ladies I know who are expecting I do truly cherish these moments that I have to parent River with my full and undivided attention. We've grown to be partners in crime. We've developed a bond that words fail me to express my gratitude for. I couldn't think of anywhere else I'd rather be on a Friday night than on a big comfy couch snuggled up with my son, his hand wrapped around my finger as he drifts of to sleep.

So sweet. While of course I feel blessed beyond words, I sometimes get so sad as I realize how much of me has been taken from my sweet Jackson. I tried to treasure every moment I had with him alone before his little sister arrived.
I understand how you feel. I have a friend that just gave birth and I had a moment of envy, I would love that experience. Not just for the baby, I'm perfectly happy with adoption but for the experience, pregnancy, birth etc.
That moment sounds wonderful, I got sad this week at how fast Alana is growing. I need a pause button!
