The other day I was on the phone with Joel reviewing how the exchange of Parker from one person's house to another was going to go later in the day. As I rambled on instructions of what to tell the daycare lady Joel stops me and says, "You are being one of those moms"...nothing else needed to be said. I knew EXACTLY what he was saying. Translation...you are being too particular, telling me things I already know, everything is going to be fine so stop freaking out!
After I hung up with him I was thinking to myself, "How did I become this person?!". I have always prided myself on being laid back, rolling with the punches, not particular about hardly anything, disorganized, etc. What happened?! How did a little baby change all of this! Now I find myself over-explaining things to my husband that he already knows. Trust me, Joel is not one of those guys who has no clue what is going on either. He is so fabulous with Parker, and when I am gone I never worry if Parker is having a blast or being loved on extensively!
I just think there is something about this gift from God that flipped a switch in me, and made me care about things more deeply than I ever have. I just love Parker so much and want him to be safe, cry as few tears as possible and laugh as often as possible! So...I guess the worrying and over-explanation (is that a word?!) of things will continue as my love for him grows more...hope Joel likes the new me!
