Being a mom definitely changes you...

So before becoming a mother, I had a HOT temper...I mean HOT...things bothered me all the time. Whatever you said to me, whether you meant it or not, flew all over me. My mom says I walked around with a chip on my shoulder, and I guess I did. I just didn't like people getting an attitude with me...and sometimes that wasn't the smart thing....but now...I could care less. Things don't bother me. I rarely get upset about anything, and stuff that at one time would make me mad for hours, doesn't even effect me. I guess being a mom has more than mellowed me. I love it. I don't get mad, I rarely get offended, and life is just awesome. I've realized what's important in life, and small dramas, people who have attitudes (especially at work, namely patients), and inconveniences no longer anger me....I wonder if this happens to most moms...I'm sure that it does.

Update to Hernia...

tiny umbilical hernia, that requires NOTHING!! I knew that from researching it, but it was good to hear. It should resolve on it's own before he's 2.

miracle vs. fluke

either way, I slept last night!! Dawson slept the first stretch for 4 hours, up for an hour, back down for 3!! It's a miracle..or a fluke! But it was great...here's the kicker though...he was in his carseat...I watched him in the crib for a little while and I know why he wakes up so much...he flails and it wakes him up (startle reflex) anyway, I watched him and I swaddled and he got out of it ( I have now ordered the miracle blanket) so I put him in the carseat and had no more problems...

In other news, I think D has a hernia...doc this morning and I'll update later!

:(

Dawson has regressed on the crib sleeping...can't get more than 20 minutes out of him at a time..and while I'm being aggressive and trying SUPER hard to keep putting him in there, I can't function off of no sleep...now his favorite place is the carseat and the boppy..what to do?

Back at work...

and it's kinda bittersweet. I'm glad to be interacting with adults other than my husband and parents...but I miss my baby like crazy!! Of course he's with Daniel today so that helps, I know he's in good hands. I did get a little upset on the way to work this morning, but we had a REALLY rough night last night, so I think my aggrivation from last night made coming to work a little easier..I needed to get out of the house. I'm hoping Daniel sends me LOTS of pics today!

look where my baby is sleeping!!

yes, this is his crib...and he LOVES it!! He does so well, and I couldn't be prouder of him..it's his first independent move...

new favorite outfit! and it was only 7 dollars!!
