The baby is sleeping right now. I just worked out at the apartment gym - Yay Me! You go girl! HGTV is a great source of entertainment while on the treadmill. I had to remind myself not to hold on...for you Biggest Loser fans, you will remember Jillian yelling at that fat dope of a husband to let go! For every minute he held on, Jillian would make the other contestants go another five minutes. Needless-to-say he was voted off quickly. I took a shower and my hair is falling out like crazy. Parenting Magazine says it's totally normal, but every time I shower or brush it's like a squirrel is born. It's creepy! After Lincoln was born I actually had a bald spot in the front of my head.
Wait...more random thoughts coming...for you parents out there, have you ever had to put your child directly into the bath tub because their diahrea was so stuck to their behinds? I know, yucky thought, but it happened yesterday morning and it caused Lincoln's little balls to swell up. Poor baby! Mary, our daycare lady, had to deal with him all day after he had been up since 3 a.m. Not a pretty sight! I picked him up at 3:30 and couldn't even deal with him for two hours. His butt was in bed at 5:30! He chose to sleep in the pack-and-play again. Weird! I thought he loved his big boy bed. At least he is not banging his head on the door to get out. He actually caused his dumb self to have a nose bleed the other day...my mom fell for it and ended nap time after 15 minutes. We came home and mom and Lincoln were out on the patio with every bowl, cup, and big spoon we own having a blast. Lincoln was sporting a soggy diaper and a smile, and our carpet was soaked from mom's endless trips to the kitchen to get Lincoln more water.
Still catering to Lincoln's every wish. Have a hard time saying NO, but I really have to. He is driving me crazy. This morning he asked for cookies, chips (pips), noodles, yogurt (gert), apple sauce, lemonade, and milk. I took his order like a freaking waitress and he only ate 1/2 the yogurt, 1/2 the applesauce, and about two sips of milk. He did make a lovely little mess on the carpet by crushing the chips and then stomping on them. I put myself in time out after that one!
For you moms out there...how many dinners do you make for your toddlers? When they don't want what you have fixed, is that it? Or, do you get out your order pad and open up Mom's Diner? My husband thinks one meal should be it. If Lincoln doesn't eat, then too bad! He'll learn. Hmmm...
Song of the day - 9 to 5 by Dolly Parton. I danced around our cramped apartment bedroom, probably looking like an idiot while the song was playing on iTunes. Carter was literally laughing at me. It made me feel good.
Tonight's dinner - Tacos with homemade queso (Velveeta and Rotel). Yum!
Excitement #1 - We are moving into our new house next week! Yippee! Can't wait to get unpacked. Honey, if you are reading this...everything will have it's place in this house! No more piles on the dining room table! Got it?
Excitement #2 - We booked airline tickets last night for a romantic getaway to Florida in July! We are planning to go to Disney for two days - back to the scene of our awesome honeymoon. Dad has a hot tub at his house. Yeah boy! I am so excited. Oh, biggest news...the kids are staying with Mary! Best money we'll ever spend!
Baby is awake! Gotta do diaper duty.

Hey, sounds like much is going on in a short time span for you...hang in there! Jenny is going through some similar stages of early motherhood. Men can be selfish sometimes and can leave you feeling unheard and underappreciated. It's really hard for them to understand some of the psychological traumas and adjustments us women have to deal with after child bearing. Life nearly rolls on normally for them in a way and they look at you like you're a nut sometimes! (Why are you blowing things out of proportion? Calm down. You're being awfully dramatic, aren't you?) Haha, yes we are! Things are dramatic and very out of proportion in our point of view as a new mother. Nothing is the same for us anymore!! Please get that and feel sympathetic! And no, we cannot just get on with it and get over it right away!! Just the sleep deprivation alone drives one to psychosis! Again, hang in there...it gets better in a few years as the kids get a bit older! Take care and have fun at Disney! Call if you have any free time!
ummm I wouldnt exactly describe me as "selfish". I just think both men and women deal with the stress in different ways.
