Last night and today have been tough. Ethan woke up at 4 in the morning and didn't feel like going back to sleep. He wasn't fussy, just wide awake, and I was not. Later on I took Ethan to the grocery store. I've done this before and he has done fine. Not today. Half way through my shopping list he was screaming (his newborn scream) and was unconsolable. I ended up leaving my full cart, taking Ethan to the car and waiting for Derek to come save the day. As soon as he came, Ethan calmed down and we were able to finish our shopping trip.
I've had the thoughts pop in my head, "I can't wait until Ethan is older and is able to sleep through the night... is able to tell me what he needs... is able to go longer without eating." And I realized, that is all going to happen too soon anyway. Ethan is already one month old (on Monday)and that time has flown by. I know he is going to grow up too fast. He is only this age once and even though it may be tiring at times, I need to treasure the current moment. He is wonderful! I know there is going to come a time when I'm gonna miss this.

Great mind set!! This was my philosophy with my children as well. I tried to always enjoy every moment as if this was the only child I would ever have, and that I would never see this stage again. It helped me to keep perspective.
You are doing amazing!!
Keep your chin up girl - think of all the guilt you can pile on him when he gets older!
