Busier than ever.

I thought just being a stay at home wife and keeping the house clean was hard. Ha! A clean house is almost impossible with a baby. There are those rare moments when most of the house is clean for like 2 seconds...then it's back to the way it was. I'm ok with it though. Having baby stuff everywhere gives my home character and the feeling of family. I love my little Audie bee and I love taking care of and nurturing her. I love the way she looks up into my eyes adoringly when I'm feeding her. I love her grunts and squeaks when she's sleeping...or even awake. And I even LOVE having to pick her up and hold her because the only place she's happy is my arms. It brings me the greatest joy to be her Mommy. She's generally a happy baby. She loves to be held, but what baby doesn't? She has days where she cries if I put her down and I tend to hold her through those days. But she also has plenty of days where she is perfectly content in her swing, bouncy, or sleeping in her pack n play.

An update on me: I'm doing well. I'm over the baby blues part of post partum. It wasn't bad. It only lasted a couple weeks and I was back to normal. I spend most of my free time...what little I do have running around the house, cleaning, washing bottles, doing laundry, surfing the internet for good coupon deals, all to start over again in the routine of taking care of Audie. I am beyond exhausted most days, but that's normal and Audrey keeps me on my toes. Sometimes it seems like everything is just one reeeeeallly long, big day. No separate days because they all run together! lol. Especially when sleep is more like just a nap. All in the name of love for my baby :-) Life is good.
