Eternities

The fact that I was so excited about this blog and haven't found time to post another writing until over a month later is just a testament to the complete overhaul and required shift in my expectations of time. The reality of my life as a parent is that it is comprised of small "eternities". Already I feel as though I have aged a lifetime, yet on the other hand looking back to 8 months ago when the LG was born, it has truly been a small eternity full of such miniscule accomplishments with infinite meaning. My mornings are filled with toothy smiles, bouncing bonanzas, gurgles, giggles, squealing, burping, and all kinds of other treats that seem so far removed from the screaming, early morning feedings, and sleepless nights that once plagued my life in those early weeks, and yet the time from then to now is nothing - 6 months tops - a speck in time.
