Sunday

Today was another great day - one of those days where we just got to hang out and enjoy our new son. We did have some success in the BF area today. Michael was able to successfully BF for 26 minutes! I won't lie . .  it hurt . . a lot, but it was great that we finally got this to occur. Now maybe those middle of the night feedings won't be so exhausting. It was tough having to feed and then pump.

I had a chance to get out of the house today, which was very nice. Mom took me to the fabric store so I could pick out the new colors for Michael's nursery. The pink, green and orange girly theme that I have now just won't do. I dread having to make another crib set, but my little guy is worth it. Now, what do I do with the set I have?

While at the fabric store there was a boy that was misbehaving. I would put him around six years old, but he was acting more like a three year old. You know - typical whining, being a little PITA, etc. My first thought was that this kid is way too old to be acting like that, but then I stopped. I know nothing about that kid. He may have a learning disability, he may be developmentaly delayed, heck he may even have KS.

It's strange how this DX for my son has completely changed how I view other children as well as other adults. I guess it's easy to judge others when you assume everything is perfect. Now I realize that everything may not be perfect in the way that the majority of us define perfect. We never know what others are facing or dealing with. Maybe that guy that cut you off on the freeway is in a rush to get to his sick child that's in the hospital. Maybe that couple that's blocking the asile at WalMart is enjoying their time together because they just received news that one of them doesn't have long to live. Maybe that "strange guy at work" isn't so strange at all . . . maybe he just doesn't feel like he fits it with the rest of the crowd.

I would be lying if I said the last few days have been a breeze. Far from it. I'm learning so much and so much of what I believe is being challenged. I just keep putting my faith in God that he will show me and Vince the way.
