The haul...
Santa was a little upset that a certain one month old stayed up all
nite. And Mrs. Claus was mad at Santa for being a man and not
sympathetic to a nursing mom.
Needless to say, we survived Christmas even though Attractive Al, I
mean Santa forced the whole house to watch "The Real Jesus" 5 times in
HD.
Oh, and my in laws are coming and already asking when am I having more
kids.
I need sanity and a drink.

Post Partum Week 3 (She's 3 weeks old and beat you up)
Whew!
Time has flown and Lady Bug is about 8-9 pounds and Momma is heading
home. I needed this and I'm so grateful and sorry she is leaving. But
alas, I have to put on my big girl pants and move forward.
The baby can make a solid fours through the night although these fours
hours are usually after midnight.
My body is slowly returning. Emotions -not so much. Oh well. I have
another 4 weeks to pull it together before my in-laws arrive and I
return to work.
And the reality of having a baby is setting in - diapers, bottles,
formula, daycare tuition, etc. And now, Attractive Al and I are again
setting the wheels in motion for moving (this time with
professionals). We are either going buy (a very narrow chance given
this current economic climate) or renting a townhouse because we need
all the space and money we can find.
Time flies when you're watching your baby grow.

Postpartum Week 2: EMO
Lady Bug is two weeks old and I'm officially out of my program!
Time is a flying. And my baby is a growing. At her two week exam, she gained a full pound and was considered in good shape.
So this marks the first real time I felt normal. Eating normal, body semi-normal, emotionally - a desolate wreck. I take offense easy especially at Thanksgiving when I sent a holiday message to friends - one friend responded to The Banker (who she isn't friends with). So that sent me to tears to which AA has decreed this friend is verboten in seeing Lady Bug, why complicate things? It's a hard reality to face but life moves on and sometimes you have to move away from people in your life. Maybe they will return, maybe they won't.
Speaking of transition, some good friends are moving overseas for work. I miss them dearly and pray that our paths will meet again. But I blessed with the time I did have with them.
Although, I was well behaved toward X Factor at graduation. I warned Momma Sense of XF's nature and she witnessed so some interesting and not so nice behavior on XF's part (why explain the abnormal?). The only I said to XF other than "hello" was "please don't touch my child" - seriously. Graduation went off successfully!
I'm so blessed to have my mom here to help me and Lady Bug transition. Life is much easier and less stressful. Anyhoo, I need to enjoy Momma being here because she will be gone in a week or so (Boooo).
Will catch you up later.

Ahem - excuse while I go have a baby....
Its December 1 - the days immediately following Thanksgiving (to which Attractive Al scoffs - its a Native American thing). Normally, I would be secretly gallivanting off to Gap, Banana Republic, and Coach Outlet for some major personal Christmas gifts (because God want us to be good ourselves too). But this year, I'm with the little lady who decided to make her appearance in the world about a week early (November 19). I'm cuddling my bundle of joy (lets hope for the latter).
I didn't think it would be fair to you my readers to leave in the lurch while I'm off having so much fun. So I want to leave you with a few pregnancy and random life posts (this should get you through Epiphany). Some are mine and some are my favorite bloggers, in any case - enjoy and Happy Holiday Season (I may be busy for a while).
