I was trying to catch up on blogs tonight, but I was more behind than I thought I was... whoops....
I just read on someone's that she's glad she and her husband went through everything they went through to get "here", because if they hadn't, they wouldn't have THIS child.
I've really started feeling that this week. He's literally the best kid for us. Ever. He just fits so perfectly. It's insane.
Don't get me wrong. It doesn't just fix everything. There are deep emotional wounds from what we went through. I already worry about whether we'll have to go through it all over again for a possible second child. But I'm so thankful that we had any baby and I'm in awe of it getting to be THIS baby.
Aaaand some updates:
F is getting more and more of a personality. He belly laughed for the first time today. Obviously it was at E. They're straight-up besties. I spend 24/7 with the boy while E is at work and sleeping but E's his favorite person in the world. Ugh. But it's so cute I'm not even upset. E was playing with F during dinner and all of a sudden F just let out this deep belly laugh and we both just looked at him, bug eyed. And then he did it again! So cute.

F takes more daytime naps now.
He's rolling onto his sides from his back now. Sometimessss onto his belly from his back. He's just such a little munchkin.
He also started getting scared though. I dropped something in the kitchen the other day while he was in his highchair in the breakfast nook (he loves sitting up like a big boy- either in the high chair or propped up on the couch or even in the exersaucer. HATES laying down like a baby!) and the noise FREAKED him out. His little lip quivered and he just lost it. About an hour later we were playing and I was making faces at him... I got a text and stopped for a second to check my phone, and then resumed the game... but he wasn't ready. It caught him off guard and again, $#!+ was flipped. Poor kid. Both times I picked him up and held him and he snuggled his face into my neck and chilled out.
Homeboy's not much of a snuggler. He's the cuddliest and smooshiest when he's sleeping, but other than that he's on. the. go. Constantly. His feet never stop moving, he's looking at everything, flirting, smiling, giving people and things the side eye. Non-stop...
Thank Gd he's still an AMAZiNG sleeper. He sleeps for like 10+ hours at night. It's unreal. He's been going to sleep around 10 or 11pm and sleeping until anywhere from 7 to 9am. PLEASE GD LET THIS CONTINUE. Apparently I was the same way as a baby... and still. And yet I'm up at 4am writing a blog post??
F is turning 3 months later this week(!!!)so maybe I'll do a catch-up photo post for month 3 then!

Oh and in a surprise turn of events... I GOT MY FREAKING PERIOD THIS WEEK. I have been the Queen of MIA periods my whole life. Now, 12 weeks postpartum, pumping 100x/day, my body is like, "oh right, bleeding seems like the right choice." Right. And it brought it alllll the way. I was in some majorrrrrr pain this weekend. Major.
It's clearly time to head to bed.

...but first, some catch-up photos from 1 month-2 months old:
Thanksgiving:
OMG he's so cute!!! Such a sweet face! I am glad he's a perfect fit for you...you waited long enough for him, it's nice to see how happy you all are (and look at his smiles, clearly a happy boy!). I'm playing this game where I try to guess what you named him (you know, instead of working...lol) now that we have a first letter....Franky? Freddie? Fajita? Falafel? Fisher? Francis? Regardless, he's handsome as can be! Congratulations!
