My mood while writing this blog: bitter sweet... |
This morning I woke up around 6 (because I had completely soaked through my breast pads, my bra--which is heavily padded--and my shirt). I couldn't go right back to bed because I was so awake... so I went on my Myspace page and read people's comments. Then I decided to add captions to the 70 some photos I put up (which were from my camera... when I get them off Brandon's camera and my other friend's online, I'll put up more! Haha!). It was beautiful--no tears or anything. I was able to look through them all many more times, adding thoughts to them and just bing happy.
Then a little while ago I woke up again and noticed my baby band is starting to get those bends in it where it's starting to break. I mentioned to Brandon that I would have to take it off soon and he kept telling me, "No baby, wait until you're ready to! You can wear it as long as you want!!" That's when I started to bawl--immagine, me? Crying? Noooo! (o; I told him how it was breaking and then he felt bad.
Yesterday I almost felt ready to take it off--like when Angel handed me Ryllie's baby band... I really thought about it. Then around dinner time yesterday I was too attached to it. Brandon's mom actually saw it and said "When you gonna cut that thing off?!" Arggggg--that made me MAAAAAD. I told her I don't need to cut it and showed her how it slips right off my tiny wrists!
I'm feeling a little better from this morning... and I know I will need to take it off sometime, but right now it is just my connection to him. I really think anyone else doing an adoption needs to have something like this--I'm not saying my obsession with the baby band, but just something that means a lot to them, their little connection/reminder. AND they shouldn't feel stupid about it... it's honestly helping me deal with everything--I know when I really take it off, for me it will be a big thing. Wish me luck... haha--and let's pray it doesn't break off on its own before I am ready for it!
