I decided to start a blog b/c a friend on facebook suggested it. She said she enjoyed my take on motherhood and thought i should give blogging a try. So here goes...
Motherhood is not at all what they tell you it's going to be. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my son more than anything in this whole world. I just wish I had been better prepared for what was to come.
Grayson was born in November and first few months went by in a blur for me, and I'm sure most new mother's would agree. We've had our ups and down with Grayson. He was really sick in February and was admitted to the hospital over night. What a friggin nightmare that was! Then we were back into the hospital at the beginning of March and then again at the beginning of May. This last time we trekked it out to Hamilton and the got the answers we were looking for (it's worth the drive ppl!!!) To say everything has calmed down and been great would stretching it...
My lovely little boy doesn't sleep. He naps like a champ during the day, but come nighttime, the little bugger won't sleep for more than 3 hours at a time!!! he's also been teething since he was about 2.5-3 months. He had his first tooth at his 3 month checkup. I swear every time I look in this kids mouth he's got another friggin tooth!! He's got 7 at the moment with another one coming up! We just can't seem to get a break from it!!!
He's also the crankiest little bugger I've met!! Everyone I know who has recently had a baby has a happy, bubbly little angel who smiles and laughs all the time (and sleeps thru the night). Not my child, oh no! I practically have to put on a broadway show just to get this kid to giggle or crack a smile! But when he does smile and laugh my heart just melts and I remember why I wanted to become a mom.
He's 8.5 months now and on the verge of crawling. He can take a few crawls? steps? and then he's flat on his belly. It wont be long now... and then I'll really be busy...
