Just the Two of Us

For the next three weeks, our happy trio...


...is down to two.  My sweet hubby will be at Airborne School at Fort Benning, Georgia.  I know I haven't shared the details of my birth story yet, but I will tell you that when Baby V came out, like most babies, she came out screaming (and covered in her own poop...but that's another story).  After they got her all cleaned up, they tried to hand her over to me (still screaming), but I was too shaky from the epidural that I didn't want to take her and risk dropping her.  So Malu reached out for her and immediately started singing to her.  She instantly stopped crying and looked up at him.  It was truly love at first sight.

And they've been inseparable ever since. Baby V will truly miss her daddy and napping partner in crime.




And I'm going to miss my sweet love and wonder how I'm going to make it with the baby all by myself for three weeks.  I mean, Malu's done practically everything for me before the baby and everything for us (and mainly the baby) since we got home from the hospital.  The one thing that keeps me optimistic is knowing that he'll actually be coming back...and I can do three weeks--no problem!  So yeah...it's just the two of us...Baby V and me.  And we're going to have a fun time!

Best of luck to you at school sweetheart!  We'll be here waiting for you!

I know you will miss Malu! But the three weeks will go by fast and you will be just fine! Think of it as bonding time between the two of you. Baby V is getting more and more beautiful every day!

I always missed my husband when he went away on his business trips. We'd talk on the phone every night, which made for a special, different kind of connection. You always had each other's full attention.

I love your photos - they are wonderful! My fav is the one where he has her tucked in his shirt. He seems to think that's sooo funny, just like my husband would!
