Is this real? Will it last?

This morning I woke up to a bunch of texts from Liz. It surprised me because for the past 2.5 years we've always texted each other at night - which seemed to have worked for us.
My hormones seemed to have me questioning the whole thing. Did she text me during the morning to avoid talking to me, did she text me early so that I wouldn't be waiting for her texts/ sending her texts around the 15th as usual? I felt that the game had been switched up for some reason and that there's something behind it all.
But then a friend of mine reminded me to just give her the benefit of the doubt. Maybe she's been busy, maybe she really did think about me this morning, maybe with the baby coming she feels more secure, maybe she somehow knows I feel emotional and this is the way she feels she can help me, maybe she just wanted to be kind, maybe she knew she'd be busy and wouldn't be able to get back to me, who knows really though?
Yes, that's a lot of maybe's but I'm trying to just be grateful for her texts and the pictures and even the video she sent me. As a nmom it means so much to me, which is a mindfuck. It means so much to me to be able to see my own child who I created and birthed.

She said,"Good morning! Thought I would send you a few pictures of what we've been up to lately! Hope you are doing well! :)"
Then described each picture and said, "Have a wonderful weekend! <3"
I responded back this morning, "Awh, thank you! I really appreciate you thinking of me! That means so much to me. :) Bennett is precious as always! Can't believe how big he gets so fast! :) his little astronaut costume s too cute. Did he enjoy trick or treating? :) The video made me tear up! He's such a big boy and his little voice <3 I love it. Thank you so much for these. How are you and Nate? I hope you all are doing well and have an amazing weekend also! Also, I wanted to ask you if maybe you'd be interested in having another FaceTime visit sometime in December that might be good for you. I'm going to be sending gifts in a couple of weeks for Christmas and I'd love to see you open them if you're comfortable with that (early). I'm hoping you'll like them! I'd love to hear back from you. <3"


Here's to hoping some more. Hoping she'll respond and hoping she'll say yes.

He was an astronaut for Halloween. :) Year 2.

Hi !! :) I love this pic because he's looking
directly into the camera.

He likes apples too, just like his big sister!

I've got some apples! 

Eating lollipops with his cowboy bud. :)

Riding his bike around the house before bed
-I was told.

Just taking a stroll and thinking about some things. :p

Walking with another buddy.

Goodnight. :)
