it's all fun and games!

Miss Bethany is playing the,I pull my passy out of my mouth and you put it back in for me game. I have a feeling this will go on for a while and we, the parents, won't win. Amateures.

10- words of wisdom, please.

Post-pardon depression sucks, just saying. PPD is what I call it, it doesn't sound so bad when you say it that way. I know ALOT of new moms go through this and have addressed it, so how did you do it? Words of wisdom are appreciated. I know I'm not alone on this one and I know it's hard to talk about, I know because it's taken me 7 weeks to address it and seek out help, medically and personally. I know it will get better, I just need patience. Any words of advise? Ready, set, go!

#9-Bubble bath

OMG!!! It has been 6 weeks since I was able to take a bath due to having a c-section. I had forgotten how AWESOME baths are. I think this is going to be my "me time" every night ritual. However, It was worth the 6 week wait because I have the most beautiful little girl ever. Baths are awesome! Heaven.

#8-Christmas list

All I want for Christmas, Nothing big just a few things...
1. New wardrobe that doesn't consist of maturity clothes and toms.
2. New house that is over 950 sf and one that has carpet.
3. New job that I love and where I can still be a mom.
4. World peace. Someday.

Merry Christmas to all!

#7-reasoning

There is no reasoning with a 6 week old. I try to tell her that when she spits out her pacifier that she will not like it. Does she listen to me, NO. She spits it out and cries every time. No reasoning with this child. No reasoning.

#6-just gas

I dont know how something so little can create such big "issues" from her body. This girl is so gassy, she gasses me out of the room. We burp and burp and burp and still gas escapes i know that it is making her uncomfortable and we keep the Gripe water a flowing. Hope fully this little girl can have some relief soon and all I keep telling myself is that it's just gas.

#5 - 4 am television

You know, there isn't much on the tele at 4am. For some people this is prime time and this is all we get? These are my viewing choices when i'm up at 4am. Shark vaccum/mop info commercials. Sex life enhancement pills. How to get rich in Real-estate. 1 minute miracle makeup. Total gym workout. What is a girl to watch? Choices.

#4- well child

We had our 1 month well child check up today. Miss B is now 8 lb 13 oz and is 50% in weight and height. She is healthy and beautiful, which we already knew! The only bad part of the check up was her Hep B shot. I think it hurt me more than it did her. I know that she will not remember the pain at all, but it will forever be on my mind. I might have cried a little, just sayin!

#3-mommys bliss

Dear Gripe Water- how I love thee, let me count the ways. This little girl is in heaven right now and I have you to thank for it. As for this mom, you are awesome! The last 24 hrs have been rough, not only for my little B, but for this sleep deprived mommy as well. Daddy has been a big help and i can't imagine my life without him right now. Relief.
