Motherhood update

Baby:

• My Dakota Jack is getting so big he has already outgrown his first outfit.
• He loves to eat and is a little too good at it
• His eyes are turning a very deep dark gray (so far)
• He still has night & day mixed up :(
• His toots make me laugh
• Bigest milestone, He Smiles!
• and for some reason I just can't stop kissing him

Physically:

• Im exhausted. and generally fatigued
• Im still very achey and sore from the rough delivery
• My nipple has stopped bleeding
• Still feeling fat and mushy (though my shoes do fit again)
• I did manage to excercise for the first time yesterday
• When I can't shower I make up for it with many teeth brushings
• Wrist is cramping up from holding baby
• Dieing for a foot massage

Emotions:

• Lonely - I miss my husband half the time. I also long for my own mother...
• slightly overwhelmed
• Cooped up - today I took the baby out for a few hours but it can truely be a logistcal nightmare for the serious shopper
• Nervous about germs/driving/falling weird stuff~
• Enormously Gratefull for my beautiful healthy little family and all our zillions of blessings
• In total Awe everytime i look at my baby boy
