Life Goes On…..

It’s been a few weeks since I posted anything, so I figured I better get something up here. Life has been crazy. Ava is cute as heck, and growing more and more everyday. I love being home with her, and I’m lucky she’s such a good baby. Of course she has her moments of grumpiness…. but that usually only occurs when we’re out of the house. Unfortunately, I believe she has become the little Diva. She likes to eat only when she is totally comfortable, and there are no distractions around her. Apparently the world is a little too exciting, and she can’t focus on two things at once. Usually she can only be truly consoled by bouncing on the therapy ball, or sitting in our glider. She also loves bath time, and will sit in her little tub for as long as I will let her. It has now become a part of our nightly bedtime routine. Her formula change due to her milk allergy has gone very well. No awful rashes or irritation since, but it’s digested differently so it upsets her little tummy sometimes. Overall, she is progressing well, and living quite the life of luxury.

As for me, I am FINALLY beginning to feel good again. My excessive anxiety has started to diminish, and I am functioning much better. I can now relax, and simple tasks no longer cause me to have mini anxiety attacks. Ava is now waking up once at night to eat, and this is also attributing to my feeling better I believe. Her 2 month appointment showed her weighing a little over 9 pounds so she’s on the small side, but very healthy, so I’m looking forward to when she’s big enough to sleep through the night!

Chris and I are doing good. I feel like we’re now able to communicate again, and have moments of clarity. I still feel like Chris doesn’t really “get it”, and sometimes I really feel like he is living on a different planet or from a different universe or something. I talked about it with alot of my girlfriends, and they all agree and say the same things about their husbands so I think it’s pretty normal. I guess this is just part of the differences that separate men and women. I have to give Chris credit though, he is so cute with Ava, and she just thinks he is so great. She smiles at him, and cooes when he plays with her. It’s fun to watch them together.

Anyway, life does go on. I’m still trying to figure out this foreign thing called, “post pregnancy body”. Not too happy with it, and need to quit obsessing and start moving. I feel like every week gets easier and easier, and THANK GOODNESS for that!!! haha
