A Long Time,

So I haven't posted in a long time.

Two Words....Sleep Deprivation!

Alexander loves and I do mean loves to keep up the schedule he formed in the womb. Which means he sleeps all the morning till mid afternoon, wakes up to entertain us around 2pm, then goes to sleep only to wake in very short intervals throughout the early evening. Oh but wait to 9pm at night comes, he is up active, lively cooing and or crying whichever suits him at the moment.

Between bottles and gas bubbles in his little tummy I don't know if I am coming or going. But I just remind myself, that hey two more weeks and we can start the process of sleep training. Whew let the days and nights get flipped back the right way.

In addition to sleep deprivation, the last few days/week or so I have been dealing with this wound vac. It is seriously effective but from a mental standpoint I felt fragile. I mean here I am with this machine and tubing hanging off me down to my toes, having to drag it around with me 24 hours a day, it was discouraging. Baby blues wanted to set in but I said the hell with that and called my nurse and asked if I could go outside for short walks. She said yes but just take it easy, no 'exercise' worthy walking is how I took that. OMG the sun was wonderful it renewed me and made me feel like okay this sucks but not completely. And now after following all or most of the nurses rules I am wound vac free, down to wet/dry compresses and only having to see the nurse two days a week instead of three. And now she is here 15/20 min instead of 30 minutes to an hour and a half. God is great, I prayed for supernatural healing and there he is.
