Happy 4th of July!!
Maxley was so excited to celebrate his American half today!
He grew an ounce and is up to 3lbs 1oz.
Another day in clothes with no incidents! I changed him for a quick photo op in his 4th or July outfit but it was way too big so he didn’t stay in it. ((See Photo))
He slept through the fireworks but we had a good view from our hospital room of the minneapolis skyline and several fireworks shows.
Today was hard, this is normally my favorite holiday and while I got to spend it with family and friends... it was very hard to not have Scott here with me. Instead I wrote his obituary.
I am surprised by the the things I find hard. It’s not holding Maxley, looking at pictures or even talking about Scott. It’s mundane everyday activities that we have done together for years. I don’t know how this ever gets easier. Maybe the next 4th of July will be.
