The Morning Post

So it's 1:50 a.m. and yep, I'm blogging. It's the only "me time" I get. I go to bed at 8:30 p.m. every night and Rob wakes me up to feed the baby roughly four hours later so that's the only guaranteed sleep I get during the day. Then it's me and Lincoln all night. He's awake right now, hence why I'm blogging and then he'll drift off to sleep shortly so that I can get a little shut-eye too.

It was a great day today. The kiddos and I headed over to the museum for a few hours and ran into our friends the Mayers. Avonlea and Emily are quite the little pals. They truly love each other. Emily is only two days younger than Avy so they play really well together.

For those of you who didn't know, Lincoln has been sick. It started with a cough about a week ago and then developed into lots of congestion and eventually he wound up on amoxacillin. Poor baby. I can't believe my 5-week-old has to be medicated, but at least he's feeling better. We've had SOOOO many people coming in and out of this house the past two weeks that it's impossible to keep tabs on who's washed hands, who's carrying what germs, etc. We're just thankful it's a cold and not something too serious. He's getting much better though.

As for me, my incision from the c-section has healed completely and has been for a few weeks now. I can't believe how much quicker I recovered this time around. I truly believe that recovery is 50% mental so because I have a busy toddler to take care of on top of a newborn, I had to learn to bounce back quicker. I have my 6-week checkup this upcoming Thursday so hopefully I'll get the go-ahead to begin exercising. Gotta get those abbs back into shape! :) With feeding the baby, I've been able to loose a lot of weight so far, but not nearly what I'd like to and I think exercise will help a lot.

Avonlea's second birthday is coming up in September and Rob and I are contimplating what to do for a party. Any suggestions? We'll be right in the middle of construction on our house so it can't be here.

Well, my little guy is heading off to dreamland (see, I told you he would) so I think I'll get a little shut eye until the next feeding, diaper change, etc.

Oh yeah! I almost forgot to mention that he's smiling now!!! Just a bit ago I needed to readjust his pacifier and he looked up at me with the cutest smile ever. Wish I had the camera to capture the cuteness. It's in the car. Oh well. Next time.
