It's the little things you appreciate when you've been so busy with baby that you rarely have time to do things that the old you didn't think about. Don and I got to go see the movie and went to the casino yesterday. The movie was pretty good but the whole "sitting in a theatre" experience was what I enjoyed the most. It was nice to get out and after I stopped thinking about things like how much too dark it would be for Calum, how loud it would seem to him and wondering if I should check in just before the show started I did enjoy myself. However, Calum was never far from my mind. Yoda started to look just a little like him and I started thinking about making him a Halloween costume. Then there were babies born in the movie and I was thinking about how small Calum was when he was born. There's no hope for it now. I am a mother and I guess I will always be thinking about our little one.
I had a bit of luck at the casino. I won $173 and spent only $20 to get it. I'll never win big at those things because I only play the .05 and .25 machines and rarely bet the maximum. Don likes to call it chasing the dragon and I can usually find him at the $1 machines betting big. He has yet to prove to me that his strategy works though so I'll continue with my own until he convinces me otherwise.
Other than the above, I had a great b-day. Don and the kids bought me a gc for a massage at a spa. I'm really going to enjoy that. The grandparents report that Calum was fairly well behaved while we were gone and they even managed to get him to drink a bottle.
I'm off to the office this morning so I'd better finish getting ready and feed the little one. I hope you all have a good week. We have a few new photos to post later, including some of Calum's first walk around the New West Quay.
