When we brought Aowyn home my Mamma was waiting for us. She and Ben had been cleaning our house for a week. Just to help us have the place be fit for bringing a new baby home. THANK YOU! There was just no way for us to do it, before baby, or after. So, THANK YOU AGAIN!! Keeping up with it is hard... very hard. Especially when we are both working and tired. The important thing is that we try... or I should say... Mike tries.
I will get an updated pic of Aowyn's nursery once I do my finishing touches, cuz it's even cuter and more fun now!
This was a picture I took while I was still pretty much in bed all day. I would only get up to go to the bathroom, and occasionally go downstairs. So most of the time it was just me and Aowyn, hanging out in bed. I would not have gotten anything to eat, if it wasn't for Mike cooking for me, or my mom bringing me snacks. We never had a TV in our room until shortly before Aowyn was born. I had become so big, sore and tired that I could hardly move out of bed.
Thank GOODNESS for my mommie. She would come over everyday and spend hours and hours in my room with me... sometimes just holding the baby so I could have a break, or maybe even squeeze in a shower... or have the really fine luxury of EATING!! Aowyn LOVES her Grandmummie. I just remember whimpering on the phone to my mom, and she would come over... in the afternoon... (what?!?! an artist needs to sleep in and take her time. ;-D) but don't get me wrong, this lady would stay til midnight sometimes!!! She would talk with me and keep my spirits up, or just give me some adult interaction... and especially help me "work thru" all the trauma that having a baby can have on your mind/spirit/emotions. Yes, having a baby is amazing and simply awe inspiring... and I never went through any postpartum... I think the reason is because I had someone there to get me over the hump, of adjustment. :-D Just AWESOME! THANKS MOMMA!!
