I know I should be in bed since the baby is asleep and so is the rest of my family. I just wanted to update my blog since I haven’t been on here in a few days. Today was a very good day. The baby hasn’t been really fussy since that night a few days back. He is growing into his own personality, which is wonderful. He is such a sweet baby and I love him so much!!
Today the kids played and we got a few chores done. I finished up my Christmas cards and now we just need to get them all in the mail. I made 72 of them and took the picture for them today. We just did the kids since I am not up to being in a family picture right now. They turned out really nice and we went down and picked them up from Walmart an hour later. I also sent out all my birth announcements today, which is a big load off my chest as well.
Tomorrow Bryan is going to one of his meetings in the am and then coming back to get the kids ready for church. Then he and the kids will go for the 3 hour block and they will just wait for him to count tithing after church is over. We have asked a Young Women to help us out tomorrow. I know it will be hard for Bryan but I am just not ready to deal with the other children yet. I don’t even know if Brayden and I will go next Sunday. It depends on how cold it is and how I am feeling.
Today I have had a lot of pain in my abdomen and it has been very difficult to walk. It’s funny because some days I will feel almost back to normal and then the next day it will hit me that I am not normal yet. I wonder how long it will be until I am myself again. I can already feel like my brain is all together. I had a talk with my girls today and I told them that we were going to get some order in this house. I told them there would be no yelling, fighting, whining, screaming, etc. We are going to have our house be a special place and we are ALL going to get along.
Okay, my eyelids are drooping and I still need to read my scriptures. I’ll write more tomorrow if I’m up to it. I’m going to try to rest throughout the day until I feel the pain go away.
Hi Robyn
Hey I saw Bryan at church today and I asked him about you and he said you were there, too, but I didn’t get the chance to find you and say hi in person. So we just have to meet on the blogs. But I totally want to come over and visit sometime, I just don’t know when with Christmas coming – maybe the 26th? I’ll come bake you cookies and help you with whatever. And hold Brayden!
Robyn, don’t worry about how long it is going to take to recover. You may feel blue and sore and overwhelmed one day and on top of the world the next. You know those hormones are doing a number on you. Patience!! Your family sounds wonderful. All the best. Joan
