It has been a busy couple days since I last wrote, but I don't think I intend for this blog to have something written every day. For my sanity, and my husband's, this is just a spot for us to write what we feel, and the days that we need to muddle through.
.....J has woken, so I'm going to have to re-visit this.
My thinking is going to be over a course of a couple days now. It seems every time I sit down to write J wakes up in such a fit. *sigh*. I sure look forward to his poor gums getting a break, as does he, I'm sure.
I have already gotten through half my first book for my doula training. The beginning part, and of which I still have 50 more pages in the chapter, is comprised of birth stories. I'm finding it extremely useful to hear from so many different women on their births. I only know the details of my two births otherwise. There are some techniques talked about in the birth stories, but does not go into explaining the reasoning (that's saved for a later chapter). I'm excited, and anxious for more learning.
Both the boys seem to switch off on being extra needy lately, and it has started to wear both, Mike and I thin. As a parent, you love your children, always. We love our boys. It gets hard though when your marriage starts to suffer because you spend so much time with a child, trying to figure out their feelings.
My husband and I don't sleep in the same bedroom either. Before we moved in with my in-laws we spent a lot of time reflecting on our days while we were settling down for bed together. This hasn't happened in a long time. It's possible that we need to make a stronger effort to ensure that happens.
We are a very lucky couple though. We both know, that no matter what, we love each other. Not many in our situation can say that.
