The Craziness of being Home

Yes, it has been quite sometime since my last post... having a baby can make things go a little crazy. Just a little and that is in terms of measurements where a little is an exponentially large amount of crazy. I hate not being more faithful to my blog but hey that's life :)

Since giving birth to a beautiful 6lb 13oz 19inch long bundle of joy 11 weeks have passed. In those 11 weeks she has acquired a weight of 10lbs 10oz and a length of 21 and a half inches long. She is quite the lil' chunk only surviving on breast milk definitely does her body good. While we were at the hospital it was really easy to relax and kind of forget about the havoc wreaked back at our home. We had many visitors at the hospital and seeing people you know when you are confined to a hospital bed with nothing but bad cable to keep you company is always awesome. My father was among one of the visitors to the hospital, he brought my boys and my best friend with him. He seemed really proud to be holding his 3rd(2ND biological) granddaughter. We named her after my recently passed mother, who is and will always be my main source of inspiration for my parenting style. Anyways enough about that let me tell you about the craziness that ensued in the days and weeks following her home arrival.

Once we left the safe easy going surroundings of the hospital, I was eerily ready to get back to the crazy lifestyle I had left. The ride home was long and hot, and let me tell you a car with no a/c in the beginning heat of summer and a newborn riding in the backseat is horrible. Once home though, we were greeted with family and cool a/c inside our quaint 2 bedroom, 1 bath apartment. Its been nice being home and with my family, its definitely taking some adjusting having 3 kids now, but it is a welcome change.
