Today is a very happy day for me. A day were I woke up excited to go get my lil boo out of his crib. A day where I smiled as I gave my wonderful husband a kiss goodbye. A day where my coffee was made perfectly, and the slice of cold left over pizza tasted awesome! A morning spent cuddled up on the couch with the computer, morning news and rain on the windowsill and youtube jamming in the background of my favorite music.
Today is so great because last night was awesome. Henry's last feeding is around 11-12am and I usually stay up to feed him and then have to spend another 2 hours trying to get him to go to sleep. Well last night we tried something new- when his 8-9pm feeding came around we put him straight to bed and went to bed with him. I set my alarm for 12 thinking he would probably wake before then and we he did not I was in heaven! I still had to get up and pump and by the time I was done he was awake and ready to eat. But because he was so rested and sleepy he went right back to sleep after his bottle meaning I got 6 hours of glorified sleep last night with only one lil interruption! This is a new mothers DREAM! This only happens 2 maybe 3 times a week and the rest of the nights are spent calming him down and rocking him to sleep for hours. He loves to sleep on our chests so when we put him in his crib he instantly wakes right back up and starts the game alllll over again.
I am also excited today because I am so so so grateful to have my pre-pregnancy body back. I loved being pregnant and rubbing my stomach but 9months of it was plenty. I looooove slipping on my skinny jeans and lil tank tops. I LOVE my breast feeding boobies as well. I feel like I had a baby and I got a boob job/lipo all in one! I weigh LESS than I did before I got pregnant, I'm wearing a size 4 and can fit in a size 2. My boobs are in their own zip code and hellllo no one's complaining in this city :D All of this is due to breast feeding and burning all those extra calories each day. I absolutely love it. I still eat all the shit I did when I was pregnant, Kev and I have actually gotten into the habit of making cookie dough and just eating that each night as dessert. Gross I know but I am so hungry all the time and that is my vice right now.
Another reason why I am so so so happy today is that the job hunt is going so smoothly. I am being sought after for 2 really great jobs and it is going to be hard to pick. I am so excited because I graduated over a year ago and I finally am going to be able to have a full time job that is not just a job but a career in my field of interest in a salary position! Might I add that this is all happening in AKRON OHIO?!? Yeah, I didn't think it was possible either!
Life is really shaping up nicely for us and after the year we had in 2010- as great as it was, it was also one of the hardest for my family, so we are extremely grateful for the break. Kev is busy at work, I am busy at home and soon to be working again too, we have a beautiful healthy jubilant son and a crazy lazy dog. We have our health, our happiness and our own family now, life gets sweeter every day. Ever since our son was born and blessed us with his presence our fortune has turn completely around. I wish every one could be as blessed!
Enjoy the rainy day and cuddle up to someone you love - that is the best way to stay warm!
