I thought that once the pregnancy was over my forgetfulness would dissipate. Apparently it has not. Perhaps the distraction of pregnancy is now the distraction of baby. He does seem to be on my mind more often than not. Somehow the subject of el nino comes up in most conversations and sometimes no conversations are taking place but I start one up and guess what the topic is. You guessed it, my one-and-only son. I just hope my friends will not get too bored and frustrated hearing about how well he eats (he opens his mouth eagerly anticipating the next spoonful, is that not amazing?) or how cute he looks in the morning smiling up at me when I reach into his crib to pick him up or how he loves to take mommy's exercise walk with her and our daug, but if he falls asleep mom has to put her hand on his head so it doesn't wobble too much while he is in the bjorn carrier. I mean are these not scintillating details? Ok, I'm enamored and this is my first child, and you'll all just have to give me a break. But I'm not promising to curb my enthusiasm. Just letting you know that I know I'm being a little absurd. But just a little. You'll have to forgive me my forgetfulness too. I'm beginning to think it may just be a permanent part of my life from now on. And I'm willing to live with that.
