A coworker brought her baby boy into the office for the first time. It was fascinating to see him. Born mid-April, he's already so long and lean and friendly! It's a curious phenomenon to see the bump I spent day in and day out with as a fully-formed human being. And, after the loss we found out about earlier this week, it was heartening to see a baby, good to see life renewing itself.
Don't know if Mom is going to come back from maternity leave. We certainly need her, though she doesn't seem especially eager to leave him.
(This photo wasn't taken today. It's about 10 days old. Mom sent it to me because, well, guess who gave him the outfit!)
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.
I am loving his Cubs onesie :)
ReplyDeleteA Cubs fan already.
ReplyDeleteMaybe he will be the Cubbies' good luck charm. He sure is a sweetie. I don't blame her if she wants to stay home all day and love him.
ReplyDeleteAww, what a cutie!
ReplyDeleteCute Onesie! :-)
ReplyDeleteHe's about PeterBella's age ... :) Sports fans, what they do with their babies! I bought PB a Flyers onesie so he could pose with the Godfather of love in it.
ReplyDelete(That baby is so cute, I just wanna smish him!)
