Neglect...

I know. I've neglected the blog. But I have some good reasons. Honest. For one, there's been the whole "having a baby" thing, but it was a little more than that.

The last couple months of my pregnancy, I was extremely uncomfortable and more than a little pissy, and I felt like if I tried blogging I was going to wind up complaining about stuff, and that the complaining would take over the blog and I would come across as little more than a pathetic, whiny, pain in the ass who nobody wanted to read about. That's not who I really am, that's not how I really feel about myself, and it's not the vibe that I wanted to put out. I'm a fan of the idea of having people read this blog, and doing nothing but complaining about how I feel isn't the way to get readership. So I stopped writing for awhile, and I'm glad I did.

I've been meaning to start writing again, because I actually have worthwhile stuff to say again. So, here I go with my first post-baby blog:

I am sooo loving being a mom! Aurora can be a handful sometimes, but for the most part she is a fantastic baby. She sleeps at night really well, hardly cries, and loves to be around people. We're settling into a pretty standard routine; feeding and cuddle time after Scott leaves for work, I get her dressed and get my shower while she sleeps, then after feeding her again we go out for our morning walk. Thanks to those walks, I'm almost down to my pre-pregnancy weight again, and I'm already fitting in my pre-pregnancy clothes (which I'm super happy about)! She's up and about and playful when Scott gets home, and generally is asleep by about 9 or 10 in the evening. I really only have to wake up once during the night to feed her, and by the time she needs to be fed again I'm getting up to make lunch for Scott. Overall, she's a great baby.

So that's what's going on in my world. I know I've said it before, but I'm going to start blogging more regularly. I won't promise a blog every day, but I'll work on getting one out at least once a week. See you later!
