So here is a snap shot of how my first morning without Eric here has gone.
Picture this.......It is now 5:15 in morning and I awake to Brady squirming and grunting. I look at the clock and am over joyed that he has slept through the night ?(almost!) He went to bed at 9:30 and got up at 5:15! I was super excited and so I fly down the stairs to get a bottle and go to the bathroom before he really awakes and is screaming. As I am going to the bathroom I feel the all too familiar feel of UTI coming on. First strike!
So I head back upstairs, bottle in tow. As I reach my room I realize that Brady has fallen back asleep. YAY!! Maybe I can get a couple more minutes of shut eye! Just as I lay down and shut my eyes, I hear Morgin's door fly open. I run to the door thinking there is no way in hell that she is going to get up this early! I ask her what is wrong and she tells me that she wants to go down stairs. I tell her no and coax her back to bed. I go into my room and smell Brady had a BM. As I am picking him up to change him I hear Morgin scream and then start to throw up! Second Strike!
I put Brady in his bassinet and run to my daughters side. She has thankfully thrown up in her blanket and is holding it to her head so that she will not get it on the floor. Good girl. I strip her sheets and in the mean time Brady has started screaming at the top of his lungs. Third strike!
I carry Morgin down stairs and make her sit in the bathroom and I run back upstairs and grab Brady really quick, run back down stairs to get Morgin all cleaned up.
I finally get everyone taken care of...Morgin cleaned up, sheets and blankets in the washer and Brady changed and can finally feed Brady (poor boy!) We all lay down in mine and Eric's bed and Brady is eating and Morgin throws up again but thankfully she threw up in the bucket (no mess!)
This is my morning so far! I have realized that I can handle ANYTHING that is thrown at me!
Brady is sleeping and Morgin is now laying on the couch and as for me... I am here...very tired... but my kids are worth it!

Thanks for the laugh this am. Not that any of it is funny by any means, but it takes my mind off the fact that I've slept about 3 hrs in the last 3 nights. So we can be tired together. I hope that the rest of the day goes better and that Morgin feels better. Poor little bean. She may just be mellow and lay around all day. Call if you need anything I can always stop at the store and pick up something if you are in need.
Welcome to motherhood! Mother Nature or whoever it might be in an evil, evil person to throw this at you on your first day alone. Call me if you need help with anything. I hope it all goes better starting tomorrow!
