Well, in less than a month, 27 days to be exact, Baby Bo will be making his debut in the great state of MS!! I am so excited and can't wait to introduce him to everyone. However, there are 2 people way more excited than myself...my parents! My family used to be excited about me coming home, they couldn't wait to spend time with me. Until recently, until Bo was born, until I became the Invisible Woman!!! Every day I talk to my mom and all I hear is how excited she is for "Bo's visit". I'm like hey--I'm coming on this trip too you know? Now, in the past when I would come home for a visit they would hate it when I'd go do things with friends, go shopping, go to dinner, etc...they wanted me all to themselves. This time I've already been told..."You can go do whatever you want, see your friends, go shopping, go spend the day at the pool, whatever you want to do, we'll take care of Bo the entire time". While I'm thrilled to be getting a much needed break, oh how I wish they lived closer, I must admit selfishly I'm like...what about me? Remember me, your first born, your only daughter, the one who gave birth to this little guy?? Any recognition for me? Then I realize...it's not about me anymore. It's so funny to see your parents grow into the role of grandparents. I knew they would love him, but nothing like this!!! Every day they just want to listen to him eat, coo, squeal, and lots of times cry. They love it! It's such a wonderful feeling to know that they love your child as much as you do. So it's okay if I have to take the back seat from now on, he's definitely worth it! Look at him, can you blame them??
