Things I forgot about...

So, I'm feeding the baby and all of the sudden I glance at her belly button.  Her stump is gone!  ... it looks weird.  I mean, of course we cleaned it the best we could without pulling it off, but it's still got dried blood and what not around it when it comes off.  So- what do I do?  I get so dizzy that I can't even think of breast feeding her anymore (the idea of the initial latch was too painful at the moment).  I had to do a bottle.  I don't remember getting dizzy when I saw Madison's.  Maybe I'm just having an off day.  Maybe I need some protein.  A carnation instant breakfast drink is in my near future.

So, today is Easter and my amazing sister's birthday.  I am looking forward to doing my hair, putting on makeup, looking like a real girl again to go out to her house to have a little party.  I've actually lost over 25 pounds so far, so it feels fantastic to have most of my clothing be big on me.  That's a lot for just over a week.  At the beginning of my pregnancy when I was throwing up, I somehow gained 15 pounds.  My doctor said it was water weight from hormones that would just shed off after I had the baby.  Well, it's shedding and I'm not feeling slim yet, but I'm feeling MUCH better in my own skin.

I'm very upset that I didn't wake up this morning with Madison to watch her look for eggs.  The baby was up about... every 45 minutes last night to eat.  Mike let me sleep.  I guess I should be thankful since come Wednesday I won't really be able to sleep in anymore.  I was looking forward to taking Madison to school on Tuesday, but I think I might take advantage of being able to sleep in one last day and bring her on Wednesday.  Mike goes back to work.  I have no idea how I'll handle life with two children without him here, but I'm sure I'll manage.

Anyway- enough procrastination.  I have to get ready, make deviled eggs, bake brownies... and I've got 2 1/2 hours to do it all.  I'm sure I'll finish, but I haven't been all that productive since before Lily was born, haha.
