Babyless....was it really like this??

It is amazing how quickly you forget what your life was like before you had a baby. PCH is staying with her Granddaddy and Jules for a couple of days and I cannot believe how quiet our house is. As a Mommy, you apparently just do what you have to do everyday to make it through the day. You forget that you used to be able to eat a whole meal while it is still warm, pee uninterrupted, sleep all night long and not watch cartoons all day. You don't even miss these things because you don't remember them, or at least that is what I thought. Today, I realized it is not because we don't remember them....it is because all of those things have been replaced by something SO MUCH more wonderful than all of them put together! I miss PCH and so does Hubby. I miss big opened mouth kisses, baby babble in the background, tugs at my leg and all the other little things she does. She's only been gone one night and I feel like it's been forever! I totally understand why my Mom cried when I would go back to college after a visit home. I look at the relationship my Mom and I have now and realize how lucky I am to have her as a friend too. I hope PCH and I can have this when she grows up. Mom and Daddy are coming down for a visit on Mother's Day and I'm so happy they are......even as a grown up Mommy I miss my parents all too often. So in the end, I'll take a babyfull life over a babyless life any day!
