A small forewarning - I might be revealing a little bit too much personal information here, but hey - it is my blog, and as long as I stay within Blogger guidelines, I can write whatever I want ;)
* I feel like a Linebacker sometimes - No, not because I feel huge, but:
1) My appetite! I seem to be eating constantly - no amount can fill my bottomless pit!
2) I am a new mom, a new nursing mom - one word: PADS. Every morning as I get ready I giggle to myself, as I feel like I'm getting ready for a game - pads are stuffed everywhere.
Not. Very. Sexy.
* When I'm finally able to suck out that gigantic booger from Andi's nose, allowing her to breathe and nurse freely once again - we have a small party together.
* I understand the dilemma now between "sleep when the baby sleeps" and "do I take this time to finally do something around here?" I can't imagine when you have more kids.
* Yes, I do still take time to blog. Breakfast, coffee and my computer - I love it.
* I have taken a shower every day since Andi was born! (again, I know - I only have one kid)
* We are getting ready for a weekend just the two of us, as Dad heads to a weekend of gruelling Army drill in Guernsey. At least I'll have a car though! - We've been sharing my blazer, as my parents took the truck on their camping trip, leaving me glued home a lot.
* Here's the little girl sleeping quietly and peacefully in her cradle. I say quietly and peacefully, because it is day time, hence mom is awake. When mom and dad try to sleep at night, little Andi grunts and squeaks like a small horse.
* But really, we have it pretty easy - she is a perfect little baby - she eats like a champ, and barely cries. Two things I prayed for so often when I was still pregnant. Again, God is good.

I love reading your blog. And am impressed that your nighttime thoughts can stick around long enough to make it to cyberspace :) I am getting to the point of not even opening my eyes to feed a baby, let alone think.
:)
You're doing so well, Wiesje! God has made you into a wonderful mama. Andi is a blessed baby indeed.
Hey zussie,
Hihi wat een lollig verhaal! Pff kan me niet voorstellen dat je echt altijd zo weinig slaapt! Pff haha Vanacht vier uur geslapen (en vanochtend hardgelopen) en nu ben ik al moe haha RESPECT haha
Mis je zussie en geniet ervan daar!
Knuffel,
Lotje
Sounds like you are doing great Wiesje! I love when they are so little. I totally know what you mean by the whole not sexy thing...i finally just stopped nursing Maggie and now i can get rid of the ugly bras.

I understand your breakfast, coffee, computer time. I do the same time except with no coffee. hehe :)
Andi gets more beautiful every time you post!
And I giggled at the linebacker comment. So true. And I'm super impressed about the shower- you're doing better than I did when Brecken was a newborn! It seemed like he never slept long enough for me to take one some days!
And I've thought many-a-times about the "sleep while they sleep or get things done" dilemma. As a mother of a 2 year old, here's what I think: Looking back on it, I sure wish I would have slept when he slept. The stuff can get done some other time, or by some other person. I used a lot of the sleep times to get stuff done and now, I sure wish I wouldn't have! And I keep thinking, "If I have a second baby, the two will never sleep at the same time, so I'll never get to sleep when the baby sleeps, I SOOO should've taken advantage of that with the first one!"
But then again, that's just my personal opinion. :)
I LOVE the linebacker comment! I have never been so hungry- and therefore eaten so much in my life! It is like my appetite has a mind of it's own and what is on it's mind???? Anything sweet! Not good for the whole weight loss thing:-)
