Musings

Having a baby keeps you a busy person, I've discovered, even if you aren't really doing much. When a good chunk of your time is spent planning around nursing and waiting for a nap so you can get things done, keeping up on a blog isn't high on your list.

That being said, what's been happening. I had my very first Mother's Day! It was very lovely and relaxing. I got beautiful and cute cards from lots of people. Hubby got me lunch and made me dinner! Molly was very calm and peaceful that day. And Hubby and I spent most of the day relaxing with each other and watching BBC's Sherlock. It was quite nice.

I'm slowly but surely getting the hang of doing things around the house while Molly is sleeping or just sitting in her bouncer. Things have gotten a lot easier since I got a ringsling. She loves it and falls asleep in it pretty much instantaneously and it allows me to have hands free to do things! I've gottne laundry done, actually made dinner, and done the dishes!

Molly went from not being too active last week (mostly just ate and slept, and didn't stay awake for very long) to this week become VERY active! She stays awake a lot longer (whole stretches of time vs just a couple of minutes), locks eyes with you or on other things. She almost smiles (won't be long now!), and has been holding her head up steadier and longer as the days go by. She is six weeks tomorrow (wow!) and is quite the little baby. She also had her first explosive diaper yesterday (joy) and then decided to spit up all over my shirt about 10 minutes after that. I will say this, she already has quite the personality and is already stubborn! Uh oh.

She also slept in 4 hour stretches last night and only woke up 2x to eat. That makes me very happy. I actually feel rested for once! And woke up rested. Hooray!

I have my 6 week checkup on Monday! I am very excited to get it over and done with and have everything be fine, and I can get back to my normal life. I can't wait to go hottubbing! And lots of other things. I can hardly believe this adventure called pregnancy is over with. Until the next time. Weird.

Life overall has been going well. Summer is almost  here (well feels like it already is), and I can't believe that my maternity leave is half over. Time is flying by.
