What a roller coaster the last 6 months have been. We have laughed, cried, and thoroughly enjoyed our time with him. We had no idea we could love someone as much as we love Caden. Even on our worst days (or nights!) we feel so blessed to have him.
A few months ago I posted an entry about a few questions I had about motherhood. That was the post that sent everyone into a tailspin thinking I had totally lost it (I had!). Now that I'm several months down the road, I thought I'd revisit those questions again (if you missed the original post you can read it here)
Why does air seem to encourage projectile pooping and peeing? Not sure. Warm bath water seems to have the same effect (affect? I can never remember)
Why are newborns so noisy when they sleep? Yep, that's why C went to his bedroom very quickly!
When will I figure out the noise that means "feed me" and how it is different from the one that means "snuggle me." Yes. Snuggle me is a whiny cry. Feed me is just ticked off!
Will I ever be able to turn off my brain long enough to REALLY sleep for a few hours? Yes and No. I still sleep with one ear open, and I always seem to wake up 5 min. before he does, but I now am much more rested. It still amazes me how well one can function on very little sleep. You really do just get used to it.
Could I create a new perfume? It would be a lovely combination of milk and spit up - I think I could call is "Eau de New Mom." Although I still wear it every day, I'm not sure anyone else wants to!
Why does everything that hurts him hurt me twice as much? It still does and I think it always will.
Will I ever be able to get out of the house before noon? Yes! I'm happy to report that we can get to they gym, home for a nap and shower, and still be able to meet a girlfriend for lunch!
Will he ever be able to sleep in his bed by himself? It took a little training, but Operation Sleep Alone has been very successful!
How can one little guy be so darn cute?!? Good genes I guess :)
Why can't we get this breastfeeding thing down? If I pump and bottle feed him does that mean I'm a bad mom? Will I regret that I gave up too quickly? No, no, and no. I'm ok with my choice and he's fine. He's growing well, healthy, and very happy.
Will I be able to go more than two days without feeling overwhelmed and crying? Yep. Some days I still get overwhelmed, but it's (usually) more than two days apart!
Will I ever love anything or anyone as much as I love him? I don't know. Ask me again after #2!
Happy 6 month birthday Caden! We love, love, love YOU!!!
