So, I took a bit of a hiatus in the last few weeks. Apologies to my faithful readers...if there are any. :)
Things have been hectic around here. I have completed the last weeks of a terrible pregnancy with rushing around getting things ready for Little Bean. It was a good thing we rushed, because she made her appearance a week and two days earlier than her due date (as opposed to full term).
Husband and I made a quilt for her, and crayon collage thing that spells out love in rainbow order, went to IKEA and got some fake gerbra daisies in rainbow colors as well. I also made her a knit blanket, and had been working feverishly on a rag rug that was half latch hook and half tying out of towels. It was intense, but sadly it is unfinished...
We went in to the hospital earlier last week and were sent home saying it was false labour. Less than 24 hours later, my water broke, and I was admitted. I got some pain management drugs, and eventually an epidural as labour was not progressing and they decided to induce me.
Little Bean was born on Sept 28th at 11:54 am and weighed 7lb 5oz. She's super sweet and we're all taken with her. Her big brother is super excited to hold her and help get things we need for her like clean diapers or what have you.
At this point, I'm feeling pretty good, but just tired. Husband has been awesome in taking Little Bean at night so I can get some good sleep, but we're all starting to wear down. Praise God for Grammi as she is here for almost a full month to help us out!!
I found a new online soap/ beauty shop that I'm over the moon about. The creator of it makes all of her own toxin free products ranging from shampoo all the way down to foot scrub (I think). I just ordered, and got her rosacea care kit and I'm pretty happy with it. I'll let you know more when I've had it for a while.
How have you been in the last weeks?
xo,
Bliss
