I can't believe Lexi will soon be 8 months old. As we have also just turned the corner into a new year, I thought it would be a good time to look back and reflect on what has changed in my life since she was born:
- while I used to enjoy 9 G-L-O-R-I-O-U-S hours of sleep per night (well, before my third trimester of pregnancy at least, after which I become way too huge and uncomfortable to get any proper rest) I now survive on 6-7 hours of broken sleep each night, as I'm still getting up to feed 3-4 times per night
- I have lovely clothes in my closet, I really do. I used to consider myself kinda fashionable. Now I wear yoga pants, T-shirts and runners most days (on a dress up day I wear jeans)
- My hair has gone through more changes lately than Madonna did at her concert in October. None of my hair fell out while I was pregnant, then almost ALL of it fell out 3 months after Lexi was born. Now I'm sporting some lovely tufts of regrowth all over my head which I'm sure will lead to a mullet like look in several more months
- dates with my husband? What's a date?
- I can wolf down a plate of food (and a LARGE plate at that) in record time
- at least five times a day I say "Oh my god, she is so cute"
- I give approximately 5631 kisses a day
- a giggle and a "mum mum" directed my way makes my whole day
- I have a whole new appreciation for my husband, who is a damn fine father and partner
- you learn that life is good, no matter how little sleep you get, because your baby is healthy, happy and thriving
