Yah, its been awhile since I posted, probably because I foolishly signed my 4 yr old up for swim lessons that started when my baby was 2 weeks old.  Yah, that was a lot to handle. 

Anyway, I have written out my birth story but am still reading through it to fix details I missed and sentences that don't make any sense.

But I wanted to share a moment of my mommy madness.  Last night was a rough night for the baby.  She has reflux and thus it is difficult for her to sleep because her tummy doesn't feel so good.  After a couple of feedings that led to staying up awhile I was drained.  Seriously.  And my husband has work today so I let him sleep, plus his back was bothering him so he can't really hold the baby and walk around anyway. 

Any way, As I rocked the baby and then walked, then rocked, then sat on the bed rocking... I started talking - in my head - to the other mom.  The one out there in this world with a baby with reflux doing the exact same thing as I was at that moment.  For some reason just knowing that another mom was out there, totally exhausted and wondering what she could possibly do to get her baby to go to sleep - I felt very connected at that moment.  Like I wasn't alone.  The other mom was out there and she was tired too. 

Alright, that's all for now, I need to take a few minutes to finish up some things and spend some time with my 4 year old.

I promise as soon as I've finished proofing the birth story I will post it!
