The Osborn Pulse: January 2009

TAYLOR JANE~

Well she is here folks...and geez I can't believe how much pressure I have been under

( mostly from myself) to post a blog and some pics... so now that I can sit for longer than two minutes without my inflatable donut, which by the way saved me for the last two weeks, and I am down to my last percocet, which also saved me for the last two weeks, what a better time to blog.

I felt it was better to wait till the post pregnancy hormones dissipated a little because I found myself doing something similar to "drunk dialing" the last two weeks where I would just randomly call a friend or sister-in -law (Janice) and start bawling about who knows what. Janice was the victim of these outbursts a few times and I thank her for calming me down and telling me I was not responsible for anything I said during this hormonal overload!

Anyway, I am already too tired to write another sentence so here are some HIGH and LOW lights from the first two-weeks post baby!!

*high... My awesome Mom who saved my butt by being here the first week home and well... enough said... saved my butt!!!

*low... Uterus shrinking pains... (too much information?)

*high...the wonderful meals and visits from friends and neighbors

*low... TUCKS (need I say more)

*high... Camryn dressing in onesies and other outfits for the baby... (also dressing herself for school.) Neglect in rare form!

*high... My awesome nieces Lyndsi and Bree for helping me out so much with Camryn!

*high (and low) My husband, who decided he was meant to be a lactation specialist attempting to show me how to get a good "latch" and suggesting the "football hold" from all the "reading" he'd been doing on breastfeeding. Annoying. Endearing.

*low... middle of the night feedings

*high... middle of the night feedings

Although I still feel like I am in some sort of twilight zone and I wonder how people survive with more than two kids, I am so overwhelmed with love and gratitude for this little baby who has already brought so much peace and love into our home. It is definitely a new adventure for us and I hope I can remember to relish each moment because I know how fast it goes by.

Camryn capitalized on my new distraction and dressed herself for school... DCFS should be calling any day now!
