Wow oh wow the time is ticking down….9 working days left till the work really begins. It is incredible the changes that are happening with Oscar and all the things he is noticing and becoming aware of in his world. Last Monday, he was 8 months old, and it made me think back to that night that Oscar arrived, and how cold it was when Lauren and I were driving into the hospital. We were so surprised at his arrival 3 weeks early and now to look at him and see that little crying baby is growing steadily into the little guy in front of me. He's smiling, with teeth coming through, saying the cheerful “Da-da”, and doing a full body shake when he sees me come in the room because he is so excited to see me. It is a feeling that fills me with such happiness and makes me smile.
On the weekend, Oscar and I went shopping at Bayshore for a new phone for me while I am off on pat leave since I have to turn in my Blackberry. When I got the phone, the guy asked me what I would like the last 4 digits to be, and with not even a moment hesitation I said 6727 - it's Oscar without the A.
On the weekend, we have cousins coming to stay and they have 3 small kids, with a 4th on the way, so it will be a lot of fun for Oscar as our house is usually quiet and subdued.
The time is moving faster now and with all the preparation, I think I am ready.
