so far with a new born baby and three kids
One things I can say about having a new born baby and three other kids is make sure you have that extra help if you can. I tell you, I'm exhausted as I am so glad I teach my children how to make oatmeal, cereal, Eggo's and toast. Okay and eggs in the microwave which I don't like but my oldest loves it. I do have my parents help which I'm glad with the other kids. Over all being a mother of a newborn can be very exhausting as I had another sleepless night. I basically only got at least 4 or 5 hours of sleep. Now I'm here at my kitchen table as my kids and mother entertaining the baby as I rest just for a few. Tell you the truth, I rather keep on bounding with her but I have to let my kids and parents do it as well. Trying not to be selfish. In away I feel like I am not since this is the time I should be bounding with her.
I fee like I'm whinnying a bit so lets get to the ugly truth on being a new parent out of the hospital. It's great tell you the truth as you are sleeping in your own bed. But tons of diapers with pee and poop that your like " How many newborn diapers do I need to get until she gets to size 1. You see, I have basically size 1 that goes to 8lbs and 12 I think. Don't quote me on that. To where you give her that first bath to only have a couple of days where she pees on your mother. ( Ha that was funny as I just gave her to her with OUT A DIAPER. I was trying to be fast to get one up stairs) to where she poops on the changing pad that you can barely function since you been up all night it feels she breastfeed her when she needs to eat and then she stares at you wanting to talk as it is 3am in the morning. All you can think about is sleep. Of course I don't have a BF or a Husband to help so I do it all myself.
You might even find yourself as the kids watch you change the baby diaper. The baby poops in her diaper to where you change it and pee and poops again and again and again to where you wait to see if she will do it again. Of course she does and finally she is done to where you have change at least 4 diapers. All of it is so funny but you are just like "Is she messing with me?" of course it's ok
with all of that and binge watch 13 reasons why the series on Netflix. I might as well as she will be up before I know it and of course to eat. So far everything is going great.
Like this morning she poop on me as I thought I can change her on the bed, it's only pee but no she squirted out poop. Well I guess i will be doing laundry tonight. Oh yeah she poop and peep out her diaper a little as it was on her back. Plus as I changed her as I try to get everything together she pop out on the table pad that I was glad as my kids laugh and I did to until I was like, dang I have to wash her, whips are not going to help. It was pretty funny as we wash her and clean her up that I finally was like, "Yes, I'm done for a few minutes maybe a hour.
As my hour is about up, I'm going to feed her and relax. Even might take a nap with her but yes this is my new life and journey I'm going on. My kids will be starting school soon and I will be with a new baby and my kids at back to school night.
good bye and I hope you enjoy my blog.
