5 notes &
i’ve been operating as a single mom while husband has been in Vegas all week and good lord is it tough. i mean it’s not all that different because husband leaves before we get up and comes home right before baby bedtime but still, i’m used to getting a break each day. even if it is just a little one.
sure i’ve had time to break out the much neglected Wii after the baby goes to bed and i can eat cookies until my stomach hurts without anyone giving me the “i told you so” look, but it still sucks.
the thing i’ve missed the most is weird though - husband usually puts the baby to sleep so i hang out in the nursery with them until baby is drowsy and then i excuse myself but not before coming over and giving the baby a kiss goodnight and whisper few soft words. and there’s this moment, even though the baby is in a sleepy daze, sometimes his eyes are even closed, but the minute i say those words “goodnight sweetheart, i love you.” he smiles. it’s Heaven. and i miss it.
of course i miss my husband and i just want him to get home but i’ll partly be happy when he’s home so i get this moment back.
