Today I am thankful for yesterday being a good diaper free day
My oldest son is two and a half years old and with me being home on maternity leave we are buckling down on the potty training this week. Yesterday was a great day for him and I hope the rest of the week will be the same.
I won’t go into details, if you want you can read about it here. I have been trying to keep a blog for my boys about what I am going through while raising them.
Do you have something you are thankful for?
Today I am thankful for this massive pile of laundry.
I am thankful for all this work, all these pieces of clothes to fold and put away because it means my family has been warm and dressed during the start of the cold weather season.
I hate, I mean HATE!!!, putting away the laundry. Typically it sits in the laundry basket and I just pull the clothes out of it to wear again. With my 7-week old’s crib and stuff in our bedroom there is no place to put the clean-clothes basket. So yesterday I had to put away all our clean clothes plus the prematernity clothes that I had stashed away.
Now I am thankful it is done.
Today, and all days, I am thankful for this kid.
This guy is amazing. He makes me laugh, he is my world. The crazy things he does and says makes me wish I was recording him at all times.
I love him more than words can say and everyday I am thankful he is my son.
Today I am thankful for this double chin.
I am thankful not only for the obvious reason of it being a super adorable little face, but also because it means he is getting more than enough nutrition.
At Sid’s two-week check up he had not gotten back to his birth weight. We had been having some minor breastfeeding issues, but nothing I was concerned about. My fist son and I had so many nursing problems that I thought this time it was a breeze, comparatively.
Breastfeeding can be difficult and mothers can feel a lot of societal pressure about the ‘ease’ of it. Even though I had had more than a year of experience we still ran into problems the second time around. We still have issues but things seem to be a bit better now, and Sid is obviously gaining weight now.
Remember in things like this you can not compare your experience with others, not even with your previous attempts Each baby is different and will behave differently.
