One would think that I would be sleeping right now, but my brain and body are in a constant battle. If I try to go to sleep right now, I won't be able to fall asleep...which sucks, because she is sleeping right now. Sooo, I therefor have to wait until after her next feeding/sleep schedule...in a few short hours. Wren gets up every 2-3 hours to be fed. Standard/normal stuff. That isn't that bad if I can fall asleep right after. It only sucks when she is having gas pain for an hour or two, and I can't get her comfortable, and it makes me miss our window of sleep.That is when I hand her over to Derrick. He can usually by that point get her into his daddy rocking mode, and she is out cold. Wren is a pretty chill baby like Dex was, but she actually poops. Dex had maybe a poop every few days, and this one poops a couple times a day.

My body is still getting used to not being pregnant anymore, and I have been pretty exhausted from healing from the birth. I didn't have any tears or stitches or anything like that, that all was good as could be right away, it's just my bones and ligaments or whatever, uterus, is all trying to get back into place. My back pain has returned from holding the baby all the time, and my hip pain has gone away. Goodness....I feel like I am an old lady. My belly is a beautiful squishy mess, and my boobs are still humongous. I can't wait for these things to change........hopefully in a few weeks I will have some energy to exercise! Hoping to schedule Pilates classes after my 6 week mark. It's so awesome having my body back to me again. It's like a huge relief. I can eat and drink whatever I like. I don't have to constantly think about that anymore.

I just can't get used to the no napping for mommy in the daytime. So hard! One kid is so easy!!! I stopped Dexters naps sadly before Wren came along, because he was sleeping for 3 hour stretches at a time, and I couldn't get him outta bed. He would cry and tell me to close the door...he loves his sleep...but he would end up going to bed SO LATE. Soooo, we took the naps away so he could be in bed earlier. SUCKS for me, though. My mom took Dex tonight, and will have him in the day tomorrow, so I will be able to get a good two naps in!! I can't wait. I guess it's ok that I am up now, knowing I will get relief eventually. My in-laws stayed with us the first night, and that was so fun. Michele made us tacos, and Dex played with them while I rested with the baby, and Derrick got to do manly things around the house.

I had my babysitter get Dex outta the house today to play. That was really nice. It's so different now though, because I am still anal from being my nesting prior pregnant self...so I ended up doing 4 loads of laundry and cleaning, instead of resting....argh..Stuff has to get done though, right? I also went into work yesterday and did payroll, bills, and paperwork. I guess I don't rest well anymore...Always have stuff to do!




Hopefully I will get to actually get outta the house with Derrick in a few weeks, and go to the casino or something. That is long over due. I have waited patiently. Ok, baby wants to eat. Night night.
