It's hard to believe that it has been three weeks since I gave birth to my beautiful baby boy. I can't believe how fast time has gone by. I also can't believe how much I have grown and learned in the past couple of weeks. WOW my life has changed so much. It hasn't been easy but definitely worth every minute. I never realized how much sleep deprivation can affect you, especially your mood. During the first couple weeks, with no sleep I cried almost everyday. Of course the hormone changes I was going through didn't help matters either. Now that it has been over 3 weeks I think my body has adjusted to the limited amount of sleep I get. I know everyone says sleep when the baby sleeps but that just hasn't seemed to work with me. I have so much on my mind and things to do around the house I can't seem to fall asleep. Also when I do wind down to take a nap, Caleb is waking up to eat again or need a diaper change. It's ok though cause I know it gets better and I will eventually sleep again one day. Breast feeding is not easy. In fact it has to be one of the biggest challenges. Partly because I'm the only one that can feed Caleb. I have begun to pump so that Chad can bottle feed some but that is very limited at the moment. It is very stressful at times and rewarding too. It definitely takes a lot of work from both me and Caleb. This too gets better as each week passes.
There are moments in my day I still can't believe I'm a mom. I look at this precious little life I hold in my arms and I'm just amazed. How lucky I am that God chose me to watch over this little angel.
