Every so often I would really like:

1. A baby that likes to be cuddled instead of writhing away from being held

2. A spouse who can actually lay in bed with you when you're crying and sad without suddenly falling asleep and starting to snore.

Oh Jude, Ouch

I'm sorry that Gus isn't cuddly and that J isn't being loving or cuddly either. I hope that you're surprised... soon... by the shows of cuddly love that you so richly deserve.

Kids change SO MUCH in the first few years. Ours went from so-easy-we-had-to-check-her-breathing-sometimes to downright ornery to very reticent about shows of affection to affectionate (at least for right now). It's such a crazy puzzle... and yet you love them no matter how difficult they're being.

I wish that your J could snap to and just envelop you in support. I wish the same with my parnter sometimes. It's not her default MO, but she still surprises the heck out of me at times.

Best,

Bree
