so, if anyone is curious, having a baby changes your life.
one day you are going where you want to go, eating/sleeping/watching tv/shopping/going on dates at your leisure and the next day - wam! eating now consists of the one handed wonders and a quick meal when the baby is sleeping. shopping is hours long now. apollo, being predictably unpredictable, is either hungry, tired, spits up, or has a blow out on every outing. in my free time i am researching car seat safety and sneaking showers, which is rather uncharacteristic of me as i tend to postpone showering.
on a positive note - i have grown to appreciate my parents on a new level. all the puke and poop they too, had to deal with...
also positive - i have grown to truly love being a momma.
but i am dreading the future - crawling, walking, talking. then talking back, making curfews and rules of all sorts. perhaps the most terrifying thought is that apollo is half me. i can only hope he quells those spontaneous desires and whimsical wants that im sure to pass on to him. perhaps, like most children, he will want to be something different. he will strive to be the opposite of me - he will wear matching clothes and be extraordinarily personable.

Hey Kalina--okay, so I know that I'm your mom, so I am prejudice--but we can only hope that Apollo has half your personality...yup, it may challenge you a bit, but as we have found out through parenting you and your siblings, our children help us to grow into better people than we ever thought we would be...(although the matching clothes would be fun to see:)Your doing a great job at being a momma! Apollo is very blessed to have you and Steven as parents. Miss ya and love ya!
