shiny happy babies everywhere
i'll try to make this quick:
expect my usual new years entry to be posted on sourtimes, because it is ridiculously long as i have had quite a bit to reflect on this year. and i don't reccomend reading it unless you really care about my life because if you don't it will probably just be boring.
as for my life now, it's anything but boring, if you can believe that considering that i haven't left the house except to go to the pediatritian's twice since coming home from the hospital. here's the amazing truth, something i never expected would be true - since Elise was born, i have, without a doubt, never been happier in my life. sure i get like, four hours of sleep a night and i talk more about poop than anything else, but seriously, even if it sounds cheesy, i really think that this was my whole purpose in life. does every new mom feel that way? who knows, maybe in another week or two i'll be crawling the walls and dying to get away from my baby, but at this point i can't even imagine going back to work and leaving her alone with anyone else. ugh.
but yeah, it's been a crazy week. and the most disgusting week of my life, as well. why doesn't anyone ever tell you the outright truth about what happens to a woman's body the first week postpartum? answer: because if you knew, you probably wouldn't want to have babies. i feel like some mad scientist's experiment that has gone horribly awry. oh, well. i have a shiny happy baby, who's just had a bath and a bottle and is sleeping peacefully, so that's my cue to also try to sleep as peacefully as i can ... for about an hour and a half, if i'm lucky.
hope everyone had an awesome and safe new years!! sean got in a bad car accident, but thankfully he is okay. as for me, i stayed home w/ Elise and i had a glass and a half of my favorite shiraz (my first drink since April 26th!!) and what do you know - it gave me a splitting headache and made me really NOT look forward to drinking again. Figures.
