I cannot believe I have a 5 week old baby!
I honestly don't know if it feels like it should be that long, or if it feels like it should be longer than that..
But seriously, I wake up every morning to a new baby because he is growing like CRAZY!
Thankfully that means that his little bump is almost non-existent... "little bump" is his traumatic souvenir from being vacuumed out of me..
Poor little guy.
I have also gotten some feedback, through the grapevine actually, that my posts are very sad lately.
I guess my exhaustion is translating to sadness.
So for those of you who think I am sad, think again..
I might have melt-downs every once in awhile, but trust me, this little guy is too cute and I am way too funny to be sad.
Exhaustion on the other hand.. No amount of funny can shake that out of me, but I am sure trying.
In fact, I had one of these said melt-downs last night..
We have all had them.. The ones where its everything in the dump truck and that poor dump truck cannot seem to hold all that junk in anymore so it just comes rushing out faster than you can stop it.
My husband told me that I needed more social interaction with people who actually talk back.
You know.. because I do not have a prodigy child..
Unfortunately he doesn't respond no matter how high pitched my voice gets.
I thought about what he said this morning in sacrament and decided that I would make it happen because I do not want to be the pathetic women who just cries.
So today I thought up some fantastic ideas and will make it happen.
I have a goal to be more social and that is exactly what I intend to do.
Now let's just hope that these Sisters like me long enough to keep my ideas running.
Enough about me though.. Look at this cute baby of mine..
Here are some cute ones we have taken over the past month.
Such a stud..

It's okay Elyse, I don't think you're sad! I just think this is a positive outlet where you can share thoughts, and you just happen to be having to adjust a lot (which happens for everyone with a new baby! Trust me!). By the way, that little boy of yours just has the cutest little face!
Oh man do I want to be in that shiny blue blanket he's laying in right about now. That is the life!
I don't think your posts are "sad." I think they're all about self-introspection during this major transition in your life. Becoming a mother isn't easy and I can guarantee that every mom has experienced similar feelings to some degree or another. I certainly have! It's healthy that you're putting your thoughts and feelings out on "paper." Definitely better than bottling it all up. I've always found writing to be therapeutic.
I think you're awesome :) And you looked super cute on Saturday ;) You always look stunning. Not that that's everything, but hearing it definitely helps.
I totally hear you on wanting/needing to be more social. I used to be super social and now I feel like I'm hidden in a cave 90% of the time. My daily conversation consists primarily of arguing with a 3 year old. "No, you can't have cookies for lunch" etc. I think a LOT of moms feel that way. Maybe we need a mommy group in the ward or something. We used to have a playgroup a looooong time ago and it was really nice. It'd be nice to have something like that again. But if you need to socialize, I'm seriously home like ALL the time. My house is totally trashed, but really, I'm always around. You're welcome to stop by anytime :)
Haha, sorry my comment is such a novel. I always write too much!
Ah he is darling! I love that he sucks his thumb! So cute. Hope you're doing well!
Elyse, he is DARLING!!! I especially love that blue blanket shot. So cozy! And I agree with Sara - this is a major transition to make, and such a change is naturally accompanied with introspection. Having a solid social network - and interaction - always does help, though. There's something to that sisterhood that we women need. I hope you have some fun adventures ahead! :)
