Normalcy!

YES! It has finally happened! The day has come where I do not feel like a zombie, where I have taken a full shower, put REAL clothes on, and finished some chores around the house. It is so nice and I've been wanting this and waiting for this day since I went into labor!!

My days are 20 hours long these days. I sleep for 4 hours a day maybe 6 if I am lucky and my body has finally adjusted. It took 3 weeks for it to succumb to its defeated state but it did. I have lost all of my pregnancy weight and actually feel skinnier than I did before I got pregnant which is an awesome bonus to breastfeeding. I have crazy cravings for chocolate- chocolate chip cookies/dough to be exact and I drink water/hot tea like its my job! I eat like shit but thats mostly due to the fact that I dont sleep so my body craves carbs and sugar to keep it functioning. I do eat tons of fruit and am currently on an orange binge. Mmmm have to have at least 2 a day. I could spend our entire grocery budget on fruit and carbs and be one happy girl :D

I cannot wait until Kevin and I can get back to our relationship. It currently is on a stand still. The second I went into labor Kev's job went into overdrive. He has been going into work early and coming home late, then working on reports until bedtime and on and on. He works the entire weekend and neither one of us have had a day off since Henry's birth. I haven't a day off from being constantly at Henry's side for 3 weeks and Kev hasn't had a day off from work in 3 weeks. Its so sad seeing our relationship take a hit like this but that has to be expected.
I just look forward to the day where I can get dressed up, wear heels for the first time in a year and skinny jeans and a sexy top and feel like a girl again!

Henry is doing great- gaining weight and eating like a champ. I think he just went through a growth spurt, he has been eating every 2 hours on the hour for 5 days and just plumped up. He loves his milk and his sleep thats for sure! He doesnt really fuss unless he is cold, has a dirty diaper or he is hungry. It's taken me a while to understand and figure out his 'cries'. Which one means I'm in pain, I'm hungry, I'm cold, I'm dirty... but now Im a pro!

For the rest of the day I shall spend it tidying up the house, vegging out on more cookies :D and cuddling with my adorable lil man!

Much Love
