Bath Time

It was Bath time for my darling Ashlyn. Especially since we spat up a lot last night and now smelled of the wonderful fragrance I like to call Sour Breast Milk...doesn't that sound appealing I know. I decided that since it's been records hot here that I'd have a cool bath with her. Of course I only filled it up a couple inches for me to sit in and brought her bath in the tub also. I think due to the heat she's been needing to feed more then usual to stay hydrated. Anyway we made our way to the bath and boy oh boy was I in for a treat. I should have known...what goes in must come out. Well after projectile vomiting mommy's milk, I quickly picked her up by her arm pits and tried to wipe her mouth, nose and body with a face cloth before it got in our clean bath. Then my sweet girl thought as soon as I picked her up peeing on mommy would also be essential...and then to top it off my once planned cool, refreshing, clean and clear bath time turned to baby's orange and brown colored poo. Let's just say she didn't just take a little squirt. Here I am holding up my baby thinking what do I do and of course all the while we pooped Ashlyn decided this was the sweet moment that every mother waits for her baby to look up in to her eyes and smile directly at her from ear to ear for the first time. Of course what else can you do but just laugh and think that's my girl...she's all about timing. How precious!

Your life seems upside down. Simply put. With the lack of sleep and the constant needs your baby demands from you makes your time very limited these days. Since when did having a 5-10minute shower (if your lucky) become an escape and you time. Ahh to remember the days of soaking in a bubble bath with sea salts, candles and enjoying the pleasure of relaxing for an hour and a half of pure pampering. I have been aching for a long bath of just me time...I honestly can say I have no idea when I will have that long of time to just sit there again and indulge of the sweet scent of vanilla and feel completely at peace.

However on a plus sign; we must burn a number of calories every day from breast feeding, walking our beautiful babies to sleep or trying to get them to calm down from gas pains. So even if you aren't doing any exercise trying to be super mom does contribute. Doing the laundry and cleaning the house while your baby sleeps, walking up and down those stairs numerous times a day, even when she's awake and we make those awkward baby faces your at least stretching your face muscles. Ha. Listen to me trying to find the easy way out. If only I could. Speaking about gawking and making weird faces at babies just to make them smile...how did that become so natural to us all. We all do it, I mean really our babies must be truly only smiling and laughing at us because they are thinking we look like complete fools. If someone came up to me and did the same thing I'd just laugh and think they were an idiot too.

So I've been super good about eating healthy since the day Ashlyn was born...but yesterday...yes yesterday we were out all day, so when we were hungry and in a rush to my parents house since we were about an hour and a half late...Wendy's Burgers it was. So I told myself that I had been good and not to feel bad...one slip up wouldn't hurt...and then dinner time came and cooking well it just didn't happen. Instead the pizza delivery guy showed up with a large half cheese, half pepperoni...yummy! At least it was thin whole wheat crust...but still. Oh well I've already done it...but 2 fast food meals...not the best decision. This wouldn't be an issue before baby in my pre-baby body, after all I think everything within moderation...but only if your body is healthy and in good shape. Blah Blah Blah...

Walking just means it got doubled...and in the heat. What was I thinking...I wasn't!
