Goodbye Night Owl

I used to be able to stay up all night but this is no longer true. After having Eden, I'm exhausted at 10PM and in bed by 11PM. I'm pushing it if I'm still up after midnight because I know I'll be paying for it the next day. I don't know how I used to be able to stay up until 4AM studying but I guess those were the college years. Having a kid is hard work. Just taking care of one child is so exhausting and without help, I don't know how some mothers manage. They're my hero. Last night, I was helping my mom babysit my little nephew. I had a taste of how much work it takes to care for two kids. Baby Eden and Andrew were both pretty fussy all night. I felt like they were feeding off each other's energy. Eden would start crying and once she stopped, Baby Andrew would cry. I was running back and forth with both of them. I literally would put one kid down and soothe the other. I was pooped! Lesson of the night: I'm going to wait awhile until I have my next child. Probably 5 years down the line.

Sleeping in her pj's

Today, my sister took Baby Eden and I out to Target for the Opening of the P-Fresh celebration. The Target that she works at had just finished remodeling. They added the Produce section. It's pretty neat because now you can basically get everything you need at Target (i.e. grocery, clothes, essentials, school supplies, music, etc). Baby Eden really liked it. There were people dressed up in fruits serving all kinds of goodies. I made sure to take all the different samples they gave out. She got to meet all of my sister's coworkers and they thought she was the cutest thing! I took advantage of the situation and got my sister to watch her while I do my shopping. I'm working on a gift basket for Baby Eden's 1 month bash this weekend. Her grandparents are throwing it. It should be fun!

Ready to ride!

Baby Eden is in bed now. She finished 7 oz. of milk. She'll be out until hmmm....I say 3AM which is when I'll be up with half an eye open to nurse her. Eden still does not sleep through the night regardless of how much milk I try to overdose her on. It goes right through her. The night owl inside of me is gone forever. I used to be energized even at 5AM and be able to take a midterm with no problems. Those days totally are over! :(
