So it's been three night in a row of the same sleep
pattern. I'm wondering when we can rest easy knowing that it's routine and not a fluke.
Talan once again went to sleep at 10 and woke up once, at 2:30am, before sleeping through again until just after 6am. And once again I woke up feeling rested. I know we'll have bad nights but I'm hoping that this is going to be the norm for the most part.
Today we went on another outing. We shopped for about 2 hours. I felt great until the very end when it hit me....I was exhausted and very sore. The healing process has been so much slower this time around. I feel great but I tire easily and have had some issues with pain these past couple of days when I was up and walking around for more than an hour. It's very frustrating but I'm trying hard to listen to my body.
Speaking of body.....WARNING: read no further if you are at all modest (Grandma & Grandad).
I warned you. So I mentioned before that I've encouraged Reese to ask questions. I haven't really offered up any information, I just wait it out and let her ask. So we talked previously about how the baby was going to eat. She is now obsessed with "boobies". She was up in my room with my Mom & I yesterday and started pulling at her shirt. She looked up and said "wow, this shirt makes me look like I have boobies!". We explained that she would have them eventually but not for a long time. She then lifted her shirt and pointed to the spot between her ribs where it sinks in and was trying desperately to convince us that she did, indeed, have boobies and that she even "has the brown spots". She's also loving helping out with diaper changes. She hasn't asked ANY questions about the male anatomy. We'll refer to those parts as his twig & berries for this story's sake. Anyway, each time I lift his legs to clean him up she points to his "berries" and says "
ew, look at that big piece of poop".
And now speaking of poop....I finally found a flaw in my otherwise perfect baby boy. He POOPS
while he eats. I'm talking mid-meal. It's so gross!!!!! Feeding time is usually such a great time to bond. But it's hard to bond when I'm being tooted on the whole time. It's like bringing your dinner plate in while you're on the toilet. I wish he'd wait until after the meal. Then again, if that's the worst I can say about him I guess I'm pretty lucky.
Kevin & I are going to go on our first post-baby date tomorrow night. I'm looking forward to having sushi for the first time in more than 9 months. I can't wait! Thanks for reading :)
LOL. Reese says the funniest things! I have tears in my eyes from laughing so hard. How do you keep a straight face? You are doing AWESOME, stacie!!! Shopping?! I moaned on the couch for over a week.
