Yes, I said it, I cried!! I cried because my baby boy is growing up so fast!! I am so proud of him, but a little part of me was just so sad (and almost in disbelief)! Of course, I woke up at 5:15 and thought really he hasn't woken up? And second guessed myself and wondered did I go feed him? (sometimes I forget the feedings depending on how tired I am).
It started Saturday night where he slept from 8pm-4am at Gigi and Pop's house. Gigi put him to bed while we were in Atlanta at the Supercross after taking care of him that day-she did a great job-they wore each other out, and he went down well that night. Then the next night, he slept from 8pm-5am, which was amazing, but I didn't think there was any way that he would move to sleeping all night so quickly as in the week before he woke up 2 to 3 times a night for a few nights...just getting back into routine, I guess?! Who knows if this will continue tonight or every night, but it's a great accomplishment and milestone!
Another monumental thing happened this morning, something no woman should ever be upset about...but I woke up, got dressed, and my pre-pregnancy work pants fit!!! I was a little sad about this, too. Why in the world would I say that? I'm not sad the pants fit, I'm more sad because it symbolizes one more step of moving away from the pregnancy/newborn stage. I am not sad to leave this stage, but if you have been pregnant you'll probably understand that there is a small part of me that AT TIMES does miss being pregnant....and leaving this stage is just finalizing that. I am excited for this, please don't mistake my mixed emotions because it's a great feeling (to fit into my pants OR at least this pair LOL)!
Oh motherhood, you are surely tugging on my heart strings this week!!
