I absolutely love being a mom.
I just gave birth to our first little baby boy.
He is so sweet. I cannot even express how much I love that little guy. He just turned two months old, and I cannot believe how fast time has flown past. It feels like yesterday that I was in the hospital meeting him for the first time. I really wish that time would stand still for a few years. I am already dreading him getting any older. He is a pretty good baby, but he does get fussy quite a bit. I have tried many things to settle him down, but I have found that the best thing is to sit him in front of the fireplace. He loves to watch the fake flames. It is an electric fireplace, so the flames aren’t even real flames, but that does not matter to him. He will literally lie down in front of it and watch it for an hour or more. I have never loved my fireplace so much. I have always wanted a “real” fireplace, but I would not trade this electric one for a real one anyday. Now that I know how much my baby loves this fireplace, I am suddenly satisfied with it. My husband laughs at me because I used to mention how much I wanted a wood burning fireplace almost every single day. He always had an eye out to see if he could find a wood fireplace for a cheap price, but he no longer has to look. I hope that our electric fireplace keeps working to soothe our fussy baby boy.
