there are a lot of benefits to co-sleeping....like being able to always see my baby, feeding her and falling right back asleep (sometimes falling asleep while doing so) being able to put her pacifier back in her mouth without having to get out of bed, and just being close to my baby....downfall of co-sleeping, being to afraid to sleep with my back to her, so i stay in the same position all night and wake up super achy every morning, having little room to myself. we need a bigger bed and i intend to get one once we have a little extra moneyz!!! with hemma at our feet, and sometimes virgil too, plus three human bodies, a queen sized bed seems pretty small. california king? i think so.
so its been super hard to drop this baby weight and i pretty much hate the body i see in the mirror. i thought about dying my hair a cotton candy pink to make myself feel better but with extra consideration, i think i'll just go with dying it a chocolate brown. i always love my hair when its a dark brown. its the best color for me.
how is it that no matter what time ofelia falls asleep 6pm, 7:30, 9pm, that she always manages to wake up at 6am every freaking morning???? i refuse to give her rice cereal. i just don't think its right for little tummies...no matter what doctors say. i think i'd rather lose sleep every night for the next couple of years than take the risk of her having severe food allergies later on in life.
i can't believe my little babe is going to be four months soon!! its seriously crazy! time is flying by and i'm already missing those first few weeks. although, shes starting to play and becoming her own little person. shes seriously a grouch like her mama, and she looks just like her daddy, and she farts like a champ just like her auntie ariel (seriously, it freaks me out how such a little thing can pass such loud gas) she is a midget just like her aunt emily. being a mommy is soooo hard but so rewarding, i love it. times can get tough when shes just in a bad mood and nothing makes her happy, but shes the sweetest little thing and i love her like no one else.
shes going to be up in about ten minutes, its almost 6am....so i better grab another cup coffee and enjoy my last ten minutes of silence (until she takes her nap, of course)
