In one end, out the other...

Dear Maggie,

What a rough week. You started waking up again at night and you seem to have an upset stomach. Your naps are a lot shorter too and you don't wake up happy. Instead you wake up screaming.

I am not sure what is going on. I think it might be these herbs I am taking to help with breastfeeding. I am cutting down how much I take to see if it improves. But despite it all you are still happy! I think you feel better today as you you woke up happy and you were talking away while we were playing. And you slept through the night. Hopefully you will get a nice nap today. I feel a lot better having had a full night sleep.

I get very stressed by all this stuff. I found it hard to deal with since I can't control it all. Did I mention I am a control freak? Hopefully by time you are reading this I have learned to let go of things. part of me is tempted to go back to work early. Work is easy and comfortable and I think mentally I would do really well back at work. But just because its easy doesn't mean it's the best choice. My motto is "everything worth having is just outside your comfort zone". I don't want to give up this time with you. This only happens once in a lifetime. I would miss out on so much just because I am a bit uncomfortable. And guaranteed I would get back to work and I would be miserable. The grass is always greener...

You are really good at sitting up now. I think crawling or some mobility will be soon since you are getting frustrated that you can't reach everything. You were pretty mad to day you couldn't reach the remote control. You could touch it but every time you did it would move just a little bit more out of your way. I finally took pity on you and moved it closer. And then you changed the channel. Thanks. But I will start to torture you and force you to figure out how to move.

The eating is going a lot better. You love cereal. You have eaten squash, carrots, sweet potato and just started chicken (mixed with sweet potato). We had some banana but it seems to have clogged you up a bit. Although with the amount of pooping today maybe I should give it to you again. I can't believe soon you will be eating real food!

Well if you are going to wake up from your nap early, it will be in the next few minutes. So I am going to get another cup of coffee and prepare. But even if you are up, you are always happy so i am happy.

Love Mom xoxo
