Well I was able to hold off the migraines. Thanks be to the Lord for answering my prayers. Today, i feel like a mom. (1) I have challenged my husband to a weight-off..Only thing is (other than him beiing male, thus predispositioned to lose faster) i am lucky enough to already have lost the 'baby' weight. i gained about 30 pounds with the pregnancy, and have since lost 33 pounds. He, on the other hand, still maintains his pregnancy weight. The cards are stacked against me. We decided to reward the winner each month over the next three months. i have the sensation that i will not be rewarded until the next year. (2) my husband started a new job with Mariott today. I finished another real estate class this past weekend. AND,(3) i am experimenting with trying to be a better mother. i need to get this baby situation under control. we are figuring out a better way to be mother and son. i am starting by putting him in his crib to sleep (against his father's wishes). set a bed time of 8 pm, and am now keeping my fingers crossed. it is now 1:30 in the morning, and he got up to eat and get his diaper changed at 12:45. he is now unhappy that i have returned him back to his crib. i have put the pacifier back in about 3 times. i am hoping he will take the hint. he's hoping that i will take the hint since he yelps about every 5 minutes. it's a battle of wills. my will is strong, Lord help me. so to recap, i CAN do this mother thing, and in the long run, my husband, my baby, and myself should come out on the other end with this day being a shining gleam of light.
