10-2-2009 - Bentley is 4 days old!! ..........My mood while writing this blog:
..........


I couldn't find another icon that fit my mood, so I chose this one, since I've been rather emotional since Bentley's birth. Things are going really smoothly. He is eating/pooping/peeing/sleeping like he should!! I just feel like I could cry at the drop of a hat... and I do mean at the drop of a hat. I'm not in pain... I'm just sore... Mostly my butt/back from laying in the hospital bed & my arms from the handle bar things that I held onto while pushing.

It feels weird not having a big 'ol belly. I've lost 17 pounds since I had him 4 days ago.... I have ALOT more to go, but that is the LAST thing on my mind right now. I plan on starting a diet soon, but I'm going to give myself enough time to get pretty well adjusted to everything before I add another thing to my plate. Like I said, I'm REALLY emotional right now. I'm not cranky or anything.... It's really hard to explain... Just put it this way... I have cried more in the past 4 days than I have this entire past year. I feel like I just want to stay at home, and isolate myself (and Joe, Gavin & Bentley) from the rest of the world. Joe went back to work today, which I thought was going to be hard on me, but today has actually went REALLY smooth, and I'm thankful for that.

Tommorrow is Bentley's billirubin check @ the hospital. I'm anxious to see how much he weighs. Before we left the hospital, he weighed 11lbs 0.1oz, so he hadn't even lost a whole ounce since birth. I deff. have a 'lil chunker, and he is eating great, so I'm curious as to how much he weighs. He wakes up during the day to eat, but at night he doesn't, so I have been setting my alarm for feedings & changes. I'm hoping it continues like this, and eventually I can let him sleep through the night without waking him up. Right now, I'm just afraid to let him go that long without eating.

Anyway, I guess I'm done blogging for now.

I just realized all that I had typed above made it sound like I'm sad all the time. I'm not.... it comes more in spurts (if that is really a word). I'll be all happy one minute, and then I'll think of something (death, bills, the decesion on whether or not I'm going to go back to work) just anything, and my mood turns like a light switch:( Very emotional!!!

Anyway, hopefully next time I blog, it will be alot happier one!

I hope all is well with everyone & I would like to thank everyone who has congratulated me & written to me. I have not been able to respond to most of them, but please know I'm not trying to be rude... I'm just very busy:) Please forgive me!

Have a great day!

Having a baby is a very emotional time. I cried so much after he was born too. i would wake up and see his little face and cry at how gorgeous he was and how innocent. Just a little baby, it brings up feelings.... I wouldnt worry about it too much though, go with the flow. You have gone through some big changes lately. We're here for you

I hope you start to feel better, and its good to hear the baby is doing well... :)

I completely understand not being able to respond to everyone. My son is 3 weeks old today and I just now cleared all the messages/comments from my page. That is all I have had time to do when I log in is catch up on all the comments. What spare time I do have I try to squeeze in a nap so that takes away from computer time...plus my computer crashed so I get on mom's when I can. Hope you feel better soon with the ups/downs emotionally. I would probably be a mess if I didn't have my mom here to take alot of stress off of me with the newborn.

That is part of postpartum. You may want to bring it to your dr's attention. I know you might not think it is bad, but it can get worse. It's better to be safe than sorry. I am glad to hear all is well though!!!
