Baby Boy BC

It’s hard to believe our little guy is almost 4 months old. I cannot recommend enough being on a social media restriction AND in a global pandemic for facilitating mindfulness and being in the present moment! (Haha. ha. ha.)

Really, I used to have this anxiety about wanting to document everything in my life, because what if I forget it? What if I lose these moments? What if I want to write a book about it someday and I haven’t written it down? (This last one is a narcissistic fantasy.)

Two (three?) things happened that were life-changing:

1. Because our son’s adoption isn’t finalized yet, we aren’t really allowed to post things about him on social media.
2. I got a new phone, and for whatever reason, it has refused to download Facebook (it’s been “loading” for weeks now). Through halloween, the election, and now going into Thanksgiving, I didn’t have easy access to social media. Trust me, I don’t have any self-congratulatory things to say about this. I’m not doing a “social media cleanse” or anything like that. It just happened one day, and here we are.

With all of this, I really haven’t posted ANYTHING about baby boy. I did at one month, and then, I just….forgot. I guess that’s parenting?? But it has been extra, unintentionally special to just not worry about the rest of the world. He is our everything and I can’t remember life before he existed.

But… just to indulge myself, here are his current stats:

Weight: 12-ish pounds

New Skills: serious judgmental side-eye

Loves: sitting in his “throne” and commenting on politics, baths, being included in all things all the time

Hates: sleep, being excluded.
