Nov. 20th, 2006 03:46 pmThere's a blog on BabyCenter.com that I usually check out once a week. Her baby is quite a bit older than Dominic, but I relate so much with her. This week especially when she wrote about going to some music shows with just her husband. She wrote:
But I'm starting to get a glimpse of my old self again. Starting to see how the mom me and the old me don't have to live on different planets. It's like catching sight of an old friend. It's like I wasn't dead, just asleep for a while. And I'm so, so glad to be awake again.
And I just sit back and go, "Yeah. I get that." I've been thinking back to a year ago when it was all stress and no sleep. I'm glad I've come as far as I have and I'm looking forward to visiting in September and seeing old friends and maybe having the baby in tow, but probably leaving him with family. And it'll be nice to not be "Dominic's mom" for a while and just be Annissa.
