What was a difficult decision you had to make? (Prompt courtesy:https://thecoffeemonsterzco.com/en-ca/blogs/midnight-blogging/journaling-prompts)
The obvious answer is ending my marriage in 2013. But you’ve all heard that story six hundred times.
This morning I made the very easy decision to stay home from work with Sid and keep him home from school because he’s got a bit of a cold. Of course baby RR is home with us too.
So…you know it’s real tough. Forced to stay inside where it’s warm and cozy on a snowy blustery day. Hang out with Sid and the baby. Sid requested waffles this morning so I did that. Waffles, whipped cream and berries. Some bacon.
Baby RR is very easy to look after. Although when he’s hungry he lets you know! I’m excited to take him back to the pediatrician next week for a weigh in. I can see for my eyes each day how much he’s changing.
He’s gone from eating just two ounces per feed to nearly six! He was severely underweight when we got him because of neglect. So Cordelia and I are doing our damndest to chub him up a bit, and of course smother him with TLC.
I suppose deciding to keep him was a difficult decision but it felt a billion times easier than letting him go. We don’t know how long he’ll be ours, at some point his mom will surface and try to get him back. We’ll love him as long as we can.
