a rough night...

So...last night was pretty rough.

I accidentally cut my baby boy's finger while trying to clip his nails.

It was seriously one of the saddest, most traumatic things ever and I boo-hoo-ed like a crazy person. I most likely cried more than he did.

I always knew he would get hurt, fall, scrape a knee, break a bone and maybe get hurt by someone else...but not by me...

Hearing the cries that I caused was heart-wrenching. It felt as if a part of me was in pain, hurting, bleeding. It hurt to see him hurt.

...and I spent the rest of the night holding him, loving him and telling him how sorry I was.

I know this life is full of trials and pain and it is going to be difficult to watch him hurt. I only hope that he finds comfort in our Father above to help him face this world.

 Lord, help me trust You with his life.

I've been singing this to baby boy every night. Do you think if I sing it enough times it will come true? I hope so...

"The cleaning and scrubbing can wait til tomorrow, for babies grow up, as I've learned to my sorrow. So quiet down, cobwebs. Dust, go to sleep. I'm nursing my baby, and babies don't keep."-Ruth Hulbert Hamilton
 It's rainy tonight. We plan on staying in and snuggling up. Hope you have a great weekend :)

The Birchbox Reverse

So I've seen bloggers post about their Birchboxes and it made me want to join in on the fun. But I got to thinking...What if I could put a twist on this? What if I could do something for someone else? Hmmm...I got an idea...I call it The Birchbox Reverse.

So...reverse...I decided to make a little $10.00 goodie box for a friend, her husband and their little boy and send it as a surprise! I know it's only $10.00, but I hope it brightens their day! Doesn't everybody love getting surprises in the mail?!

Let me know if you guys try The Birchbox Reverse! Spread some love peeps!

p.s. Don't get me wrong, I still love Birchbox :)

Date Night with My Boyfriends

We stood together tightly in the doorway of the crowded and noisy restaurant, Mr. Baker lugging around baby boy in his bulky car seat and me wishing I could be of some help. Date night is a little different, but once we made it to our seats everything, well, mostly everything fell right back into place. 

We chatted like normal and joked about the couple next to us sitting on the same side of the booth like we use to. Now the spot next to me is taken by my little man. My new love. My new "boyfriend". 

This is most certainly the only time where the word 'boyfriend' for another man will be acceptable to my husband. Don't worry Mr. Baker-you are still my main man. Loves :)
