My New Baby World

It occurred to me that everything I think, do, say has something to do with Kodo's brother. Wheather it is something new I have to buy him, discussing his new developmental milestones, or wondering how he is doing today in day care and whether he is taking his naps, he is all I think about.

Prior to finding out about Kodo's Brother coming along, I would go to the mall or online and buy whatever, whenever I wanted. (To an extent of course....jewelry was always an exception). After Kodo's Brother arrived, with the exception of a haircut which was badly needed, every dime I spend is on him.

In the past 9 months I have spent an absolute fortune on him. Now, I am not one of those parents who thinks we need to have the best of the best and one of everything, but if I see something that is going to make our lives easier...I am gonna buy it. Believe me, I wanted the $500 stroller, but the $300 one works just as well.

Something else I have noticed, I have been to four birthday parties this year. They were all for kids under 2. What the heck? I used to go to parties where they started at 9:00 pm and we drank until you couldn't drive and had to take a cab home. Not anymore....parties start at 1:00 and end when the birthday kid gets sugar high and everyone has to leave cause he is freaking out.

I like my new baby world, but I miss my old one a little too.
