40 weeks, today

Today was my projected due date.

Today Will is 3 weeks and 1 day old.

He is so precious to me. I hardly know what do do with myself…

I found myself by his little bassinet sitting and looking at him while he was about to doze off. I wondered: should I be doing somthing to help stimulate his brain? He was staring hard at the I-beam next to him (we live in a converted warehouse). I put my hand on him, I kissed his cheek several times. I wanted to pick him up and hold him but I also did not want to disturb his near slumber. I got out the laptop so I could sit next to him and I started getting some stuff done while I had the chance. While I was working on the laptop I felt this nagging feeling that I should be paying attention to him. People keep saying: cherish every moment because it goes by so quickly.

Well, I suppose I am working to balance my life with his. Its strange to feel all these things as a mom.
