I think every mother of a new born has had the experience of being awake at 3 in the morning desperately trying to get their baby back to sleep. You know those moments when you feel have asleep and you have been rocking them back and forth in the dark until you are sure you are safe and they are finally sound a sleep and the moment you put them down in their crib and you are ever so slowly creeping away they suddenly wake up??...And then of course, after the third time that your baby has played this ever so fun mind game with you you are so thoroughly frustrated that when they finally get back to sleep you can no longer get back to sleep!!!!
Oh the joys of motherhood...(-: Thank goodness they are adorably cute as they are looking up at you with their big eyes fully awake at 3 in the morning!!!!
Alex is 2 months old today and the time has gone quickly. These past 2 months have been wonderful and they have also been...hmmm...I hesitate to use the word "overwhelming" since it has too negative of a connotation for what I mean (though I admit there have been moments that I have felt overwhelmed) so I will use the words thoroughly encompassing. Needless to say, our family has been quite busy as we have adjusted to this new wonderful new addition...
Spring has begun to arrive here lately and I find the weather and change of season reflects well where I am at lately. After Alex was born (in the dead of winter) I felt the need to cocoon...Out of necessity as well as preference I have been sticking close to home and focusing mainly on the family Part of it is that I have not felt the energy to focus on much else! By the time I get the older kids to bed that's it for me...no more brain power...all systems down!!! (If the phone rings after 8:30 p.m. there is no way I am answering since I have no more desire to speak or capacity for input!!!!) But lately I have been finding the energy and the desire to start to take baby steps out into the world again...and by the "world" I mean venturing beyond a 3 block radius beyond the grocery store...!! (well maybe not today since I have been up since 3:30!!!) Life is beginning to take on more of a routine and my sleeping has increased (well, most of the time!).
I realize that my little rant may sound like I am complaining but I am not...We are so happy with Alexandre and I am so proud to have these 3 little guys. We have had some really amazing moments. When I am walking down the street with the three of them (one on either side and Alexandre in his front pack!!) I could not feel prouder. Well, that's it for now. I could write so much more but time is limited!!
