"Is this your first baby?" I can't tell you how much this question has come up now that we have Colson with us out in public. It's a terrible question, really, for a mother who has lost a child. How do you answer that? I've talked with a number of different people who have many different takes on how to answer it. I, personally, feel that if someone asks, they need to be prepared for the answer. I always say that he's our first living child. I know I've blogged about this before, but I feel like I should do it again because it's just been happening so much lately.
Colson is perfect. He wakes up two times during the night for diaper change and a feeding. He only cries when something is wrong--- unfortunately he thinks that pooping means that something is wrong! :-) He has kept me so busy over the last 7 weeks. I can hardly believe it's been 7 weeks. I love him more than I can put into words. I love both my children more than I can put into words.
I think about how lonely and terrible it was last February. I think about my blog post from Feb 1st last year a lot. This was the one where I was really letting out a lot of anger. (I try to be diplomatic on this site because I don't know who's reading, but I do have a private site just for me where I can freely vent unedited.)
