Motherhood

Phew....I can't believe it's been so long since I last posted anything here! Addison is already 4 weeks old and the days just fly by. My parents were here from July 28 - August 4 and that was great! I was still recovering and needed to take things easy and they are so helpful. Mom made every meal and they both helped clean the house and keep things in order. We even found some time to play a few games of Catan....and dad almost won one...almost...

She is such a sweet baby! We couldn't be more blessed...she even sleeps at night (although not in her crib). Last night, I fed her at 9p and she was down by 10; I woke up at 4a this morning to find her still snoozing away - she must have been making some noise for me to wake up but she looked so peaceful when I ventured in to check on her.

I will say there have been a few challenging nights, but really, just a few. I do feel like I don't get anything accomplished in a day. Dan will come home from work and I'll assess what in the world did I do during those 8+ hours?? A little clean up here and there, getting dinner ready, feeding the kid, changing all those diapers, taking the kid and dog for a walk...and that's about it folks. Oh well. I'm enjoying all those moments when Addison just nuzzles her little face into me, unsatisfied with the swing or the bouncy seat -she just wants a little one on one time with mom :)
