Ok. Three things. One, my husband converted my blog to Drupal and lost comments and entries. Slightly frustrating. Technology is suppose to make your life easier. Instead I find it makes you do twice as much in half as much time. Two, Boy am I tired. Exhaustion is becoming a pretty typical state for me. I have been trying to get into the shower for 48 minutes. Need to walk Kona but I can't muster the strength. Me, the baby and Kona are all horizontal. Funny things happen when when you lose sleep. Brain functions very differently. Three, crazy missing the southwest.

Today was my first day returning to "work." (Hah, like the past 10.5 weeks weren't work.) I am consulting. Just 10 hours a week. But boy, with a baby, cloth diapers, a dog and a husband, finding two hours to do "work" was impossible. For a type A personality like me, the fact that baby is in charge, and I can't get a handle on how to systematize is mind boggling. Now I can bore you with the details of motherhood, but I won't. All I'll say is that my day is primarily spent feeding, cleaning poop and snuggling Ems. One and three are not bad.

This is a shout out to my husband. My husband let me sleep last night. With a 10 week old breast-fed baby, sleep is priceless. I was able to sleep for five hours in a row. (The fact that baby girl is able to sleep longer helps too.) Sleep helps, and he gave me that last night, and I am grateful. So here's to husbands that you sleep!

So I have been a mommy for nine weeks now. I must admit it is way harder than being a nanny. (Something I was in the late 90's). I am exhausted all the time. (Baby girl still does not sleep through the night.) I am also way busier than I was working.

One word. Gas. My baby has gas (I am hoping it is not acid reflux) and I can't seem to help her. We are using Gripe Water and as of last night Mylicon drops. I am hoping it works. It is heart breaking to hear her cry with pain. That said, I am thankful to be able to stay at home. If I was returning to work it would be tomorrow. Now that would be really heartbreaking.
