~ Benjamin Appreciation Post ~
If you have been keeping up with me, you know that lately I have been having some ongoing health issues. On top of those issues, the medication I have been having to take weakened my immune system, and I caught the flu that lasted almost an entire week. Meanwhile Benjamin is perfectly healthy and happy. But on top of that he has been such a trooper, being as patient as an almost 10 month old can be. I'm not going to say my week was easy and that I got a lot of needed rest during the days while we were home together, but I am also thankful that it went as smoothly as it did. They're really not kidding when they say that moms don't get a day off! I find this to be especially true being a SAHM. I can't speak for everyone, but I can speak for myself when I say that I am so lucky to be a mother, especially to a little boy who is special. All he wanted the entire week was to be with me, to lay on me, to sleep with me, and he would get upset if anyone tried getting in the way of that. We haven't coslept with him since he was a newborn, so him wanting to actually sleep with me was truly shocking. It was really like he was trying to heal me, and in a way he did. The love and bond between a mother and child truly is incredible. So here's to Benjamin, my magical little bear.
