Ugh! On so many levels!
Ugh that the last bloggy update was in October. Someone totally skipped a Happy 4th Birthday entry for Roman. I guess he's technically the "middle" child, so this is to be expected. Right?
Ugh that I never mentioned anything about Christmas. And how amazingly spoiled we all are.
Ugh that I never blogged about how nesting began as Christmas decor was coming down. (Its like my brain knew my body wouldn't be able to handle it later on.)
Ugh to the way I'm feeling. Ugh to my nickname, "Big Belly" given to me by one of the boys (Mark, Jack, or Roman, I no longer remember...but its stuck...and its true). Ugh to the sound that I probably make multiple times a day, when it comes to putting on pants, rolling over in bed, and getting up from a seated position.
I don't remember this feeling from the other boys. Perhaps its that amnesia you hear about, which makes you think, YES, lets do this again...its not so bad! I know I shouldn't complain. But lets face it, physically, this is probably the most demanding challenge my body has ever been put through. Although, I'm already Super-Mom, this makes me think I'm the Ultimate Super-Mom =)! I wonder who would play me in Super Woman vs Super Mom for the Super smackdown? I literally make a mental game plan for how to best attempt, most painlessly each task I need to undertake during the day.
Yes, I know this is the "easy" part. Yes, I know I'll be physically exhausted soon. And yes, my house will be messy and loud and I'll have to find our new "normal". But, yes, I want to be able to wear shoes again, and shave my legs, and not need to sit down to rest after cleaning up the kitchen after dinner, and be able to sit on the floor with my big boys and play legos or read books, and join the post-dinner wrestling shenanigans!
Fast Foward:
And...since I sat on this for a few weeks, the "ugh" changed. Ugh to needing a C-section, dealing with c-section recovery, the breastfeeding struggles (x2), the first post-partum poo, and all the other ughs that come with newborn life, and the amount of diapers we're going through! And then there's the hormones! THANKFULLY, their newborn scent is to die for (although, ugh, its wearing off)! Ugh to the long nights, transition time for the big boys, and for me and Mark as well. Thankfully today, is a "T-WINNING" day! (I showered, cleaned the bathroom, and caught a nap...the babies must be making up for their shenanigans last night!)
