Wow! I think this parenting thing is under-rated, because it sure is fun!
We’ve been having tons of fun with Kodi, and more and more each day I enjoy just hanging out with my little “boo-boo” or “baby”. (psst…I rarely call her Kodi. Hopefully she’s not confused…. *wink*)
She loves playing with her toys and is getting very close to figuring out that her hands are actually connected to her body and that she can touch stuff with them! It’s pretty funny watching her figure it all out!
She is very strong! She loves “standing” (with mommies help) and doesn’t quite have the “newborn” shakes anymore. She’s also holding her head up marvelously, and is strong as an ox! I have to fight her each time she’s eating because she doesn’t know that her arms are attached so when she’s eating she likes to knock Mommie out of her mouth! I’ve tried to tell her over and over that it’s her that is actually making her self get mad! Ha ha!
I’m really enjoying having Dan home with us. It took a while to get used to because once he got home I realized that all of us sleeping in bed together was NOT going to work. Being SO hot now, and having a queen just makes sleeping arrangements HOT and sweaty. YUCK. The first night home was rough. Kodi wasn’t sure what was going on and why this big man was taking up her side of the bed. So she cried for most of the night, once I got her into her bed she was NOT happy about that. She couldn’t figure out why she was the one getting kicked out of bed. J Since then I’ve figured out a great way to get her to stay in her bed and she only wakes maybe once per night. She even sleeps for 6-7 hours straight! I’d say we are definitely blessed! Thank you Lord!
Unfortunately for Mommy, she has to get up and take care of Kodi’s “food” otherwise it’s all over the dang bed by the time she wakes up! J
Dan and I haven’t really had a chance to hang out with each other since his return home. It’s been a bit rough and I miss him. I know that sounds strange, but we’ve been in the same house now for one week but with the new little one, haven’t had any time for our selves. I think it took him 4 days or so (after returning home) to realize that I still lived there. He he. It was KODI-KODI-KODI. But I understand, I’m like that when I come home from work too….
YUP, I am back at work. Only 4 hours per day but still it’s more time away from Kodi than I want. I don’t feel so bad about it with Dan home watching her, I’m just worried how it’s going to be when I have to take her to my friends house. I’m still praying about that. I notice that the post-pardum depression still looms around me sometimes and I break down and cry for silly reasons.
My poor mother usually gets a call after this and has to calm me down and encourage me. I hope this ends soon!
Anyway just wanted to update everyone…. I have to say that I’m seriously enjoying my time as a Mom. It’s everything I thought it would be and more. I’m not sure if I’d want another baby. I know Dan does not, because he feels like he “is done”. And I’m not sure I’m willing to go through “it all” again. So we’re just “wading” through these feelings as they come. Kodi may just be the one and the only that I have. And at this point I think I’m okay with that.
