Don't feel like writing much right now... the emotions hit me pretty hard today after it was all said and done. But I suppose it gets better from here.
And this moment made me pretty dang happy...
After Brax's bath in the evening, I wrap him in his towel and we go to his room. I slather him with Aquaphor and Cetaphil (this was the cure for his eczema) while I sing to him. The past couple of nights, he has insisted on standing up and clinging onto me like a baby chimp (before I can even get the diaper on) and giving me really long hugs, while he lays his head on my shoulder and pats me on the back. (When I say really long, I mean like 30 seconds, but that is an eternity for this busy boy!) Mike ran and got the camera and was able to capture this precious moment (who knows how long this hugging phase will last!) It is seriously the greatest thing EVER. It kind of makes me chuckle, thinking about how someday he's going to be a grown man, and probably be a little weirded out that he used to give his momma big, greasy, naked, full-body hugs like this. But I LOVE it! He's still my baby, for now.

This is the sweetest picture ever. Isn't that just what you needed after a long day.
How sweet!! God sent hugs that you need, through Brax! This picture is priceless.
Tears...that is all I can say, tears. Thinking of you hon. Hoping every day gets a little easier.
