Being a Mommy

You know when you're laying in the hospital getting ready to have a baby and the nurses tell you that part is a piece of cake..wait til you get them home?? They're right!! Now, I did not expect Carsyn to be sleeping through the night or to never cry, but I did expect a nap or two..I feel so overwhelmed sometimes but one look at those big blue eyes and I know its all worth it. It just seems to me while being a mom is the biggest blessing it is also a difficult job- props to all the moms out there. At this point I am taking mothering advice from anyone. Carsyn is 2 weeks old and all I know to expect is patterns will start developing at 6 weeks..I am new to this and want her to be "normal". If she sleeps 4 hours I think something is wrong-she's too sleepy, if she doesn't sleep at all (case in point last night) I feel I'm failing as a mommy.

Now on to the positive-

I drove to Lowe's yesterday!! The hubby told me I looked like Driving Miss Daisy and its only 2 miles from home, but I DID IT! The only drawback was I found myself lusting after Christmas trees and its not even Halloween yet. And, a man let me jump him in line because I looked tired :(

Also, thanks to Carsyn's healthy (and by healthy I mean hungry 24/7) appetite I am back in most of my pre pregnancy clothes!! And no hubby this does not mean I am skipping my shopping spree the first day I'm out of this house!

Sweet baby girl-
