Well my son and I have arrived in our new home area in Arkansas. In 2 days my LO will be 8 months old. My how time has flown. We arrived late Thur evening. My little boy figured when I said that he should be asleep by 10 that meant PST not CST. He was sleepy around quarter to 10 but when I put him in his crib he woke up and gave me that "hello" look. It took another hour or so before he finally went to bed. Yeah around midnight. Between staying close to him and unpacking our stuff from the suitcase I managed to lay down a little while afterwards. I made one call to my mom's line to let her know we arrived safely. I talked to my brother instead who would relay the message to my parents. I missed a call from my DH so I txt him an apology and that I would try again the next few days. We finally talked today and I told him about the trip, our little boy adjusting to things, and of course that I was doing alright. I hadn't really had a chance to feel anything because I was trying to get to point A to point C without being emotional. Well I am getting a little tired and its a little after midnight. I will try to write again tomorrow to let everyone know about the adjustment. I guess you can consider this part 1. Molly

Well here it is 3 days later. I am feeling pretty good. I took my PPD medicine to help me sleep last night. After I finally relaxed I fell asleep really well. My son is playing on the floor as I am researching information on WIC. I can't believe he is 8 months old today. Time has gone by so fast. We went to <church> service yesterday. It went pretty well. I sometimes have a hard time staying awake when I am sitting for a length of time. I did well. Only yawned a few times. It wasn't because I was bored or anything I was just tired. Oh and I am listening for the washer to finish so I can put my clothes in the dryer. Than of course there is my son's. So far so good. Well I'll try to write more later. Molly

Sounds like things are heading into happy land! Remember, we are always here for you, especially when you are happy, and also when you are sad.

Well its been a few weeks since G and I arrived in Fort Smith. My DH joined us this past Tuesday evening. Its been a few weeks since we had seen him so it was a nice change to have him home. My son has seemed to enjoy to have his daddy home.
I have some music on so G and be content. He's like his mommy. Put some music on and he is pretty upbeat. He's usually up around 6 and lets me know that its time to wake up. So I pick him up out of his crib and head to the living room to play for a little while... well between that and change his diaper and get a sippy cup of formula ready for him. While he is playing for a couple hours I sneak a nap in so I can regain my rest. He eventually is ready for a nap and we fall asleep on the couch than he is ready for a snack (fruit cereal combo). He has half of it earlier than the other half after snack. Soon he is ready to roll. After while I can have a shower and eat some breakfast myself. Its usually between 9 and 10 about this time. A few hours of hard playing than its lunch time and maybe a nap (hopefully). I enjoy the nap times that way I can get some things done or even sneak a nap in myself. That's quite a routine. His grandparents are usually home in the afternoon so I get a little break or help with the afternoon meals.
Do I have time for stress? Of course I do. Do I have time to cry a little? Nope not unless I have a spare second alone which is kinda rare right now. I get into this auto drive mode where I have to be a robot.
Well the little prince is getting tired. Better go... thanks for letting me vent.

Well over the weekend I finally got my bathroom unpacked. Hooray for me. ;D It only took a couple days. Plus my son has clothes for the summer. Since I was able to separate his fall/winter clothes from spring/summer clothes. My son was very clingy today. So it made it a laid back get a few things done kinda day. I try not to be in a fowl mood with my DH. Although he gets on my nerves sometime. I try real hard to keep up with everything plus have a little one under my feet constantly. If he only knew. "kmcm" I have taken your advice by voicing my opinion. Little by little... although it usually happens when I am tired and in a fowl mood. At least I got my tea now. Yeah!! That has always been my comfort drink. Well I better go before DH comes home from work and starts me on the "you should be sleeping...."
Thanks all!
Molly

Voicing your opinion is not always a bad thing. Sometimes try to do it when you are not in a bad mood. Tell you DH that you love him, and would like HIS opinion on something, then talk about how you are feeling. He'll tell you what he thinks, and feel like he's needed.
Don't forget to give HIM some time with the little prince when he can, and take a few to go shopping for food or whatever. I'm a mom with two kids, and those few minutes away from the housemonkeys make you love him and miss him while you are gone, and those little annoyances seem to disappear.
Hugs,
Kari

Its been a while since I wrote on here. I have tired to post more on my blog on Wordpress and also on our group page on Facebook. My anemia is back in full swing. I am hating that I need to take my iron 2x a day. I have started taking a 15 mg on a Flintstones chewable with iron. Its a once a day. So I am going to work myself up to taking more. So I am taking 2 chewable/gummy vitamins plus that, and of course my once a day Zyprexa and Fluextine for stress and anxiety. I am taking those until I run out. The first one helps me sleep and relax at night... the later helps with my morning stress. Needless to say I am doing my best to just keep going. My s/o and I have our days. I have stopped taking his BS a lot of times which means I can emotionally lose it. I am looking forward to visiting my family in January with my son. Its going to be so much fun and relaxing. Oh I almost forgot to mention I weighed myself a couple nights ago... I weighed 118.8 lbs. I am inching closer to my goal weight. So bye bye for now. I will write again later. M

You're almost there! Good job! People don't understand that it can be just as hard for people to gain weight as it is to loose. I've been in both places. I'm glad you'll get some good R&R while visiting your family. That will be good for you!
