Week 1

Ahh....the baby is here and is one week old already. I am feeling less sore as the days drag on, but still as tired as I was when I went to bed when I wake up. (did that make sense??) My dh thought I was ready to pop back into the full-time mothering role this Monday and I told him on Tuesday that I was not. He's been an enormous help since then. :) It's been so weird for me to get used to a little bum and a floppy head after having toddlers for so long. I swear that my son gained 10 pounds since last week, because each time I pick him up, I think to myself "Did he really weigh this much before??" or "Have his legs always been that chunky?" Reagan is starting to regain her independance. She seemed to lose the ability to go to the bathroom by herself and go into different rooms alone as the baby's due date approached. But now, behold! The bathroom isn't scary anymore and she'll let us "listen" to her instead of watch everything she does. And she has decided that going into other rooms isn't all that bad. She still has an attitude though. Like now she's yelling at me "I don't want to sleep in my bed!" Little does she know her only alternative is the floor....

That's all for now. The babe is starting to stir. Probably from Reagan yelling. lol Isn't that the way it goes though, when you have kids?!

Time sure flies... glad you are getting rested and the kids are cooperating. (for the most part anyway)

I felt the same way about Sam when we first came home. He seemed to have grown overnight. Isn't it funny? So glad things are going well for you and that Reagan is returning to her normal self.

You make me hungry for a newborn. Not MY newborn, just someone else's for a while to get my fix. :)
