Getting Back On My Feet
Andre is 2 weeks old today. We went for his first walk. The fresh air pretty much knocked him out. I should try that at 3 in the morning. :) Honestly though, he's been doing much better. His fussy time is usually between 9 and 11. He's usually asleep by 12 and last night he didn't wake up for his feeding, he slept right through till almost 5:30. Hell, I got 5 hours of straight sleep. It's been so long since I've been able to do that. Even before he came, for the last month or so I wasn't able to sleep very well. So it felt good.
Got my staples out last week and got my incision checked this afternoon. I seem to be healing very well. I don't even need my pain meds anymore. Now I know I'll get about a million emails asking for my extras. Ha! Fat chance, you never know when you need 'em! :)
I'm feeling pretty good. Stepped on the scale the other day and only have 6 pounds to lose to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight. Not too shabby. Of course I had another 50 to lose before I got pregnant...gotta get back on the diet wagon. Thank God the nice weather is coming, I can get out for a walk every day. That will certainly help. I think I'll be going back on my crazy pills soon too. Not that I'm feeling utterly terrible or anything like that. All things considered I think I'm handling things quite well. But I don't think I'm ready to be meds free. There are times my mind goes rather dark and I don't want to go back to that place. Especially with the little one to take care of.
In other news, we finally have a preliminary hearing scheduled for the adoption. May 14th. My ex called and said he got the letter. He doesn't have to be there if he's not contesting, so he said he won't be attending. Thank God for small blessings. However, my daughter does have to be there. I'm not sure why. This whole things is quite confusing for her. I know she remembers my ex, or at least that there was someone else called daddy before my husband. But she doesn't really understand what it all means. When she first came to visit me in the hospital and held the baby, she asked if daddy would have to adopt him too. So hopefully the judge will be sensitive to this. I don't need to be in court either, but I'll be there with the baby. I want them to see us as a complete family. Not sure what the step is after court. I have no idea if DYFS will be coming by before or after the first court date. I'm not sure of anything, except that the wheels are finally in motion and we'll hopefully be a complete family very soon. Oh, and a note on the ex, he actually asked if I could get rid of the back child support (which I calculated is over $30,000, not $20,000 as I originally thought). This is all he can think about. Goes to prove that I'm doing the right thing.
So, all in all things are going pretty well. I don't have much to complain about...for once. :)
Until next time...
