My Big Boy

Blake is growing up too fast! He still is a big eater, and is keeping me up every 2-3 hrs at night to feed. I had a shower at work on February 1st - he was 4 weeks old and his weight was 11lbs 3oz. I took him to his 6 week check up on Monday and he was right on 12 lbs!

I had a really rough day today. I broke down in tears and called Darren to come home as soon as possible. One thing was just adding on to the next, and I reached a breaking point. I know every mother has been there. Anyway, although I am still feeling sick, I am giving every last bit of energy that I have in to keeping my two beautiful children happy, healthy, well fed, clean clothed and truly loved. Here they are today.

I am sooo fortunate to have Darren in my life, and in my children's lives. He is so understanding, and really does care for me. It just is so clear to me. He got home today and I was tired, cranky, overwhelmed, emotional and completely bagged. He "took over" making supper and then decided to take Paige after supper to Millenium to give me the chance to have a nap. Blake by some stroke of luck slept for an other two hours so I ate my meal while it was hot (a rare occasion lately) and cought a one hour nap. Blake woke up at 8pm, and I fed him. Darren got home from MP (with a Second Cup treat for ME!), put PJ to bed and took Blake. I went for a LONG, HOT shower...and just took my time reviving myself.
