I kind of overdid it Friday and yesterday.

So today I have been a lump on the couch.

It helps that it rained all day long, so I felt no guilt about doin' nothin'. Otto took a good 3-hour nap. I watched a lot of my DVRed shows (Ugly Betty!) and looked at random web sites. Jon made us a huge breakfast of fluffy pancakes and bacon, which stuck with me until about 4pm. A relaxing day.

Yesterday we got some work done on O's closet. He loves his new closet organizer/dresser and immediately began moving things into it (toys and t-shirts, mainly). Mom got me to sort a mountain of baby clothes. I have one laundry basket of things we're saving for the new baby -- the rest is going away. Which is OK as long as I don't think about it too much.

The other day on Flickr I was looking for a specific photo, so I searched my photos for "me" and came up with a bunch of random images, many of them of Otto as a baby. I love who he is now, his independence and sense of humor and big-boy abilities, but man -- he was a sweet baby. I held him a LOT and wish I could go back and hold him even more. These days you have to tackle him to get him to snuggle. The other night he asked me to 'nuggle with him at bedtime, and I laid on his bed next to him and watched him sleep for 15 minutes while I tried to remember the baby days and the weight of him in my hands, how his head used to fit on my shoulder. Now he's all arms and legs and grin. We're back to making popcorn about once a week as an evening treat, and the biggest treat of all is that he'll sit next to me on the couch for 20 minutes, tucked under my left arm and head against my shoulder, so that we can share the bowl while we watch Dancing with the Stars or whatever.

I find myself thinking "I'm so glad I get to have another one." And then wondering if two will be enough, or if I'll be craving another baby in another 2 or 3 years (shh... don't tell my husband).

For Mother's Day Otto's teachers interviewed each child about their mom. Here's his interview:
