Some Normalcy Again

Sydney is doing just great! She is a very happy baby. She loves to sleep and loves to be awake between 12 and 3 in the morning! Mommy loves that! :P Although Sydney and I slept in this morning until 10:30 while daddy went to the Farmer's Market. It was nice to get the extra sleep after a long night. She woke up 3 different times during the night to eat. When she is falling asleep, she has the cutest faces! She even giggled in her sleep this morning and was all smiles! It was the most adorable thing ever!

For those of you who are pregnant at the moment, I'm sure you can testify to the changes we all go through emotionally. When pregnant, I was very easily irritated and the slightest little thing that didn't go according to plan would frustrate me to no end. Not to mention all the crying when you think about how your body doesn't look what you consider to be beautiful, or that you are afraid you are going to be a bad mother. Well, let me tell you, I have never cried so much in my life. I cry when I am happy, which is most of the time. I cry when I look at her beautiful face and wonder about her future and if she will stay away from harm. I cry when I am up at night and think that I can't stand anymore because I am soo exhausted. I cry when I see other children on tv in a movie that get an owie and can only think of my little girl someday running home to mommy with similar owies. The list goes on. What I am trying to say is the emotional state pregnant women go through doesn't get any better when they have their child finally in their arms. It intensifies! I bawled when I saw her the first time after she was born and it went on for quite a while afterwords. I can not explain to anyone the love that you instantly have for you child the moment they are born, and it just gets a whole lot stronger. So heads up to all you first time moms... there is a lot more crying to do after the little one is here... but it's the "i've never been happier" crying. The good kind ;)

Oh, and the weird dreams you get when you're pregnant.... yea, they just get weirder.

I made dinner tonight for the first time in a while. Home made vegetable soup!

And made some banana bread! It turned out a little flat because I put it in two pans when I only needed one. But its great nonetheless!! No sugar! Of course!
