was the first day all week that I have actually been happy. I recently gave birth to the most amazing human being. He is now 9 weeks old, and so incredible. As most new mothers, I have been extremely stressed out by this huge change in my life. Gabriel sleeps pretty much through the night, and naps beautifully during the day. So it’s not the lack of sleep that I’m trying to get used to as much as having this little person on me at all times. Don’t get me wrong, I love him dearly and would not change him for the world, it just gets tiring sometimes. He is one of those babies that was ‘born standing’. He will not sit still, he NEVER sits still, unless he is sleeping. He gets really frustrated by the fact that he cannot yet walk, which in turn frustrates me. I am slowly learning how to suppress my frustration and be more patient with him. I have to hold him when he is awake, because if I put him in his Johnny Jump Up, his legs will get bowed, and if I put him in his exercauser, his legs will get bowed. Not to mention that the age on both of those is 4 months. Anyways, it is just really difficult at the moment. And though I love my son will all of my heart and soul, sometimes I just need a break.
