Feeling Better

I'm feeling better but still find myself getting very panicky and stressed when it seems like I have a lot on my plate. I don't know if it's the PPMD or just normal reactions to stress.

I had my first PPMD group this morning and it went good. I almost feel that an hour and a half isn't enough time to talk considering how many women are signed up for the class, but maybe, over time, we can start meeting outside of class to do things together. We'll see I guess and in the meantime I'll have to make due with an hour and a half. I'm so grateful that there's even a group to attend, I should be happy with that :)

My husband is on a business trip in Ottawa for the next three days. It's going to be tough taking care of Nathan on my own at night. We have a pretty good routine down at night when Nathan wakes up to eat. Usually I hear Nathan first since his bassinet is right next to me. I'm the one that gets up and goes downstairs to make a bottle and my husband is the one that does the feeding. I stay awake usually in case I need to change a diaper. Nathan only poops when he's being fed, it's funny.

Nathan has also adopted a pretty strict bedtime routine and I find it humorous when my husband tries to put Nathan down at night and then wonders why he won't go to sleep. Nathan usually eats with us at the dinner table, then it's cuddle time on the bed or a bath. I do the whole baby lotion massage thing if he's had a bath then read him his favorite book(that Nursery Rhymes one), then I put him in his bassinet and he almost always falls asleep within a few minutes.

He's also pretty picky in the morning. He'll wake up around 6am, get fed, but he refuses to fall back asleep in his bassinet, so he sleeps with us in our bed until we get up around 7am then he loves to be in his swing with the television on and usually he'll fall back asleep around 9am until early afternoon.

There were other things I was going to post about but have forgotten. I have these moments where something happens or I think of something and think "I have to put that on my blog" but then I completely forget what it was when I finally sit down at my computer. Must be my old age, better start taking my ginkgo biloba again ;)

More later and hope everyone is well :)
