Life is so overwhelming right now. I had never even held a baby until I had my own and now I'm trying to play mommy and daddy and I have no idea what I'm doing. I am so physically exausted and I still haven't given my body a chance to fully recover from my c-section. I still have to take painkillers most nights because by the end of the night I feel like my insides are about to burst open. It's healed over nicely on the outside, but the inside doesn't feel like it's even close to healed. Of course I can't take anything stronger then Darvocet because if he wakes up I need to get up. I'd really just like to knock myself out and get a full 8 hours. I don't want to sleep forever I just want 8 solid hours. Yeah right that won't happen until the children are grown and out of the house.
I had my mom here for a while and when she went to a hotel I had a friend here. So of course the first night I'm alone Aiden gets a cold. I think I may have gotten an hour of sleep that night. He wakes up every night at 11, 3 and 7 give or take half hour or so. About every 4 hours. And I wonder why my body hasn't healed yet? I've been alone for 6 nights now and I feel like it has been a hell of a lot longer then that.
I can't believe he'll be a month old on Sunday. Where did the time go? He's a full 8 pounds now. Hehe he's so little. He's still in newborn diapers and a lot of the newborn clothes we have for him are huge still. That also means that Dustin has been gone almost a month. I can only hope that the rest of the time he's deployed will pass just as quickly. 1 month down... hopefully just 6 1/2 to go. I'm not holding my breathe though.
