Nolan turned 3 months old yesterday which means he is officially not a little newborn anymore...he is a whole 1/4 of a year old! Time has flown by and yet I can't remember what our lives were like before him...cliche i know but seriously we are tired over here and I can barely remember what I was doing an hour ago. I sometimes forget that he is already here. I blame this on my never ending pregnancy where I seriously thought in that last month that I would be pregnant FOREVER. But he has brought so much into our lives in the last 3 months that I can't even begin to explain how incredibly fulfilled I feel as a mother.
Based on my pregnancy where I was calling my doctor regularly, I thought I was going to continue this neurotic behavior, checking on him every 5 seconds. But Nolan has actually calmed me down, brought me into the present instead of worrying about the future and he has softened my cold heart and made me sentimental. I don't know what it is about babies in general that do that to a person but I find myself cherishing every moment we spend together whether he is screaming or laughing.
I'm incredibly happy to be out of that fragile newborn stage without a single emergency trip to the hospital or midnight pediatrician calling and I look forward to what the future holds. But for now I am loving my 3 month and 1 day old.
