Since my life as a pregnant person is done for now, I was thinking of combining my blogs, while leaving the pregnancy once for posterity. What I really should do is print out all my posts and put them in Ryan's baby book, so we have them for always. So I have them for always.
My life and my life as a mom are pretty much one and the same now, so I guess I could just go with this blog and do some updating. Maybe I will do it in bits and pieces, of course. Having Ryan does not always equal a lot of time to get things done, you know?
Poor Ryan is slumped over with his head equally slumped over right now. I should probably go fix him. There, all fixed. Hopefully, he will sleep for an hour to two. He seems like he's going to be awake, which is FINE with me -- it means that he sleeps tonight, which means that I sleep tonight!
He's definitely getting a bath tonight. He's peed on himself 3 times today and pooped on himself once. A bath is in order. Plus, it seems to calm him down to go to sleep for more hours than just 2.
Having a baby is definitely a TON of work, and I do miss my life previous to having him, but you have to get the new "normal" and go with that. I still am the same person I was before, but now I have this little person that I have to take care of who depends on me. I'm not too used to such a thing -- having someone really dependent on me for all their needs, but it's slowly getting to the point where I am adapting.
I am actually really surprised that I don't have PPD -- I thought for sure that I would have it. I definitely had the baby blues, but I am doing pretty good. Having a happy baby is a plus and really helps with the blues too. Some days are harder than others and nighttime is really hard for both Jake and I -- we were REALLY used to sleeping for a long time and neither of us handle it well some days.
I'm going to stop by work tomorrow to show him to everyone and also to fax some paperwork to Jacksonville, FL (which is where my work HQ is). I know that I'll have to take him around everywhere, so I'll probably be there for a while. Oh well. Dad will want to show off his grandson to everyone. I should probably just bring him in the stoller, so I don't have to carry him around the whole time tomorrow.
