Ready to make more memories.

We got the Clomid Rx filled.  Am I going to take one?  Well, that's still being discussed.  Chris is doing his nightly vacuuming - he loves his new Dyson, and he uses it religiously.  But he took it and got it filled, so I'm thinking yes.  He's just worried about what the future holds, but I think it'll all work out fine, no matter what.  If he wants to wait another month, I'm cool with that.

He said he couldn't believe how ready I am to make that jump - that is must be biological.  He's probably right.  I do feel an "urge" if you will, to procreate.  I truly adore mommyhood, too, though.  It's the most fun I've ever had.  Period.

Tonight we played copycat for the first time. Izzy was fussy and he crouched down in a classic Neanderthal position and looked up at me, crying. So I too crouched down, and I joined his wailing.  He then stood up, so I stood up.  This cracked him up - and me too!  :-) Then he sat down quickly on his butt, and I sat down, not quite so quickly.  He leaned back on one arm, then sat back up, then back again, and I mimicked every move.  We were both cracking up.  All of a sudden, he was overcome, and he crawled to me full speed and gave me a giant hug.  Another of my many moments of Nirvana as a mommy.

Earlier in the evening, we were playing in the floor and he ran across the room to throw all of our keys into the floor. I was trying to get him to run over and give me some mama luvins, and since I say the same thing to the dogs, Gammie came running instead.  She is SUCH a good dog - loves Izzy too.  She curled up beside me, so I nuzzled her head and said, "Awwww...what a good doggy!"  Izzy crawled over as fast as those chubby little legs could push him, laid his head on top of mine - I was laying in the floor - and said, "Awwwww...."  It was unbelievably precious.  He then kissed me, kissed Gammie, kissed me about a dozen more times, then both he and Gammie rolled all over me.  I would have loved to have caught it on video.  But I'll relive it in my mind for a long time.  Being a mommy is having a life filled with these kind of moments.  It's so wonderful, it hurts.
