New Developments!

There has been a lot of changes happening in our home over the last few months. I have not had any time to sit down and create a post. Truth be told, there was not much too interesting to share. I have just been busy, and although I could write a lot about it...it just did not seem like anything worth reading. Everyone has busy lives, that is nothing out of the ordinary. Now that things are (sort of) settling down, I figured it was a better time to share. 

I gave birth to our second baby boy this past Monday the 18th. He was a planned C section, born at 7:48 in the morning. He was and is beautiful. Healthy weight and height and such a cuddle bug. I was very uncomfortable at the end of this pregnancy and I spent a lot of time in our bath tub trying to ease the pain I was feeling. I was very ready to get baby boy out of there. We spent only 2 full days and nights in the hospital and were let go by lunch time that Wednesday. Since it was a second C section the doctors said if I was feeling up to it and the baby was doing well then we had the option to go home earlier than the three full days they normally keep a C section patient. Of course I wanted to go home. There is no real sleep when you're in the hospital, and I was feeling stiff from being in the bed most the time. Plus my husband had to be home (besides delivery day) with our toddler the entire time I was in the hospital and I wanted to at least be home to give the boy some sense of normalcy.

We have been home a week now and adjusting ok. The first 5 days home I slept downstairs with the baby...just to get him used to his bassinet and to see what his sleep schedule would be like. I did the same with our first when he was born. I did not want my hubs to wake every time the baby had to feed. We are back in our room now and to my surprise this baby is actually letting me get some sleep in. Number one was up every three hours almost to the T...this babe is giving me a little more time that that. Last nite we only woke twice! He slept for 5 hours straight, woke, ate, fell back asleep for another 2 hours and woke at 530 am. He sleeps a lot during the day which is nice b/c then I can spend time with my toddler as well as get things done around the house. Fingers crossed he continues this behavior. I was and still am a little nervous about being by myself with the two kids. Not safety wise, just busy wise. My toddler is on the run and into everything, pushing my buttons and not listening all the time. Now I have an infant who is breast feeding and that takes time out of the day for which I have to sit and cannot chase the other one around. I sure hope the amount of busy I will be aids in the baby weight loss!! Haha.

As much as getting up early is never really wanted, I am enjoying it because my hubs gets up at 500am and for the last few days I can enjoy a coffee with him while he gets ready for work. The toddler is still asleep until about 730 and the baby usually falls back asleep after feeding, so I actually get some quiet/relax time. I need that iced coffee every morning and it is nice to enjoy it in peace!

Anyways, this is the newest development in our little corner of CT. I really and truly hope to find time a couple days a week to sit and write more. I do love to write. With the nicer weather and farmers markets, etc there will be so many fun things to talk about. I hope to try some new spring/summer recipes and share them here also. For those that read this, thanks for just looking! For those that don't, well I really write for me...so its ok.

Time to get the toddler up from bed. Until next post!
