Sometimes I feel like I am babysitting an adorable little baby girl and I wonder when the real, responsible parents who know what they are doing are going to pick her up and take her away. (But suggest to Elisa that you are going to take Eden away and watch the protective maternal instinct express itself full-force). I love Eden, and have so much fun watching her and I cannot believe she is ours. Even after months of being pregnant it still seems surreal that my life, my role, my identity have changed forever. FOREVER. That is a long time. No matter how good the day has gone with her or how much rest we are able to get through the night it is really challenging to adjust to this new existence. I am still me but I am a version of myself that has been benched for the last 25 years.
I have a difficult time taking care of everyone, including myself. I do not really know how to now. It seems the things that relaxed me before suddenly do not have the same effect. Before Eden was born my responsibilities were to better myself and to help Chad be happy and successful. I love my role as a wife! It is really the best in the world. Now I feel like I am neglecting Chad. Every time I feel overwhelmed and want to ask for his help I feel like I am not filling my role as a mom and I feel guilty for putting more responsibility on him.
On a less emotional girl note, somehow our bedroom has become a hangout for mosquitoes as the weather gets cooler. Luckily Eden and Chad have gone unscathed for the most part but I am a different story. Plus I seem to be more allergic to mosquitos than the average person. I have big welts all over my hands and arms that are lasting (and iching) for days. Stupid bugs!

We think Eden is our little Froggie. Or maybe our monkey. Eden curls her legs up into her chest in a great frog pose. Most of the time she manages to work her legs free of her sleeper so the sleeper legs hang limp. She doesn’t look like she has legs anymore. It’s the most comfortable fetal position for her. She also has really long arms, so we call her our monkey. She also makes a great elephant sound when she is starting to go to sleep. I looked it up online but I couldn’t find anything about other babies that trumpet like baby elephants. Everyone must see the little video where she is a squeaky little mouse too. But she is also our rag doll, because she goes so floppy and limp when she relaxes. There is nothing to add–but that we love her and she makes us smile and laugh a lot.
