So I had the baby. Insights and stories abound on being the mom of a baby again and of being the mom of four kids. We'll see what I can get written. But here's one to start . .
This morning before Eric went to work, he took the boys to school and my little lady to a playdate (May the heavens bless the women who let my daughter come play in the mornings so I can sleep!). When he came back to switch cars and leave me with the van, he found me in the dining room:
Wearing yoga pants and a t-shirt
Hair in a ponytail
Baby in the crook of my arm while I stood there, bouncing him to sleep
While I was eating oatmeal with my other hand, all the while bouncing the baby.
I laughed and said, "Hey Dear. Here you see the portrait of a new mom."
Yes, especially since the baby was Mr. Personality and Mr. Social from about 1 to 3:30. AM.
And that is how it is. Party on, Tired Mom.

Congrats on the new little guy :)
Sounds about right. As long as you know that, you'll be fine. Take it a step at a time. Make sure everyone's fed, clothed on most days, and you're doing just fine. We can come for another visit and take D.
Congratulations on your new baby. Sounds like fun having a new born again. The first year was always so hard. The lack of sleep was beyond difficult. Good luck.
It sounds like you're doing well. Other moms who took my older ones were a life saver when I had my last baby. It's the only way to get a nap.
