So Gwen is crawling, we all know that already, but now she's crawling FAST! I tried cleaning out the pantry today and every time I turned around she was somewhere else getting into something else she wasn't supposed to; oh, not the cord! oh oops, the broom! Wait, don't touch the fly swatter! Oh shoot, she fell over that box. Gwen, leave that grocery bag! Crap, I have to remember to hide the broom! Not the cord again!
I think it took me 8 hours...
But she's fun. Physically exhausting, but the most fun ever. I write so much on this blog about my concerns and how I wonder if things are going 'right'. But I also need to mention how amazing motherhood is, even when it's stressful. I try to remind myself every day that these times are fleeting, and someday she'll be grown up, and I'll miss having my baby cry for me when I take 3 steps away...and cuddling with her at bedtime and nursing her to sleep (like right now). No matter how much I want to slow time down though, time is time. It doesn't go fast or slow. But the saying 'time flies when you're having fun' is so true! Gwen, we have to stop having so much fun! ;) Well that'll never happen.
So we're listing the house next week before we leave for RI. This weekend will be full of yard work and fence painting for Jeff and organizing for me. The stager came by and made a long list of things for us to organize. Can't wait until we're done with all this.
