Born February 2, 2007, what a wonderful bundle of joy that God has created. This has been the most incredible event in my life. Becoming a mother of my newborn adopted son.
Welcome to the world lil fella, when my eyes first connected with your big blue eyes, I knew instantly there was no letting you go. It was actually love at first sight.
Being a single parent of the cutest lil baby boy, I just hated separating him from me by putting him in his own crib. So, I had to invest in a California King bed, so my little bundle of joy could experience the comfort of sleeping in the bed with his mother. What a big mistake! This lasted about six months until I realized, what if my son gets so attached to me by sharing my bed and he did not want to sleep in his own bed? I then had to make a quick decision before it was too late, I had to now start allowing him to utilize his own crib that was beautifying an area in my bedroom.
At first when I insisted that he slept in his own domain, he moved around and squirmed quite a bit the first 3 nights. I then to had to make a swift decision on what I needed to do to resolve this issue without having him come back into my bed. I decided to get him a nice fluffy sleeping partner.
Here comes Mr.Yum Yum. Now at this time, being 6 months during the start of his teething, sleeping alone, he needed a teething ring to take away from the discomfort of his teeth growing in. Well, my lil man decided to make his first decision on his own and he started biting down on his comfortable compatible lil fluffy friend to ease his gum pain. I cannot even begin to tell you how many times I caught my son chewing on his fluffy furry lil friend, which is how he obtained his permanent government name, “Mr. Yum Yum.”
Oh, I failed to mention, it affected me more than it effected my lil baby boy to sleep alone. I wanted nothing more than to have him come back in the bed with me so I could have a lil companion. That was not going to happen, so I had to discipline myself, I was already up and watching him constantly, but I would not be any good for myself or for my son the next day if I did not get the proper amount of rest that I needed. Low and behold, I invested in a pillow, which I of course gave it its own government name, “Mr. Pillow.” When rolling over, I did not feel the warmth of my little one, but I truly felt the comfort of my pillow that was so readily available. Ha, ha, ha.
What a true blessing to have gotten a little warm body that you knew you had to provide for, confusingly, he did not come with a manual. I have learned so much on my journey of having a newborn bouncy baby boy in my home. Please continue to travel with me on my journey so you too can learn the events and surprises that you may encounter with your new edition to your family.
