It's been a year.

It has been a year since I last posted here. I have no real reason for my absence. Just not focused on or even thinking about this blog. I'd like to change that, I find this relaxing but we will see. I never seem to have free time; but I have plenty of time to procrastinate. Go figure. I need to put a stop my procrastinator ways; my house needs me to be more on top of cleaning, badly. But that is a post for another day; or never.

Since I last posted we moved out into our own apartment. We live in a duplex so we have a porch and a yard. Our neighbor even has a cute little dog, RR loves to play with whenever she sees him. RR is also a big sister to WL who was born on January 30th.

My pregnancy was miserable and I almost had WL 8 weeks early. WL was a surprise, though we had been talking about trying in just a few months when we found out I was pregnant. We also decided not to find out if WL was a boy or a girl tell she was born, an experience I loved. She was also born without pain meds but with the help of pitocin. I loved not having pain meds and will do it that way again next time.

WL is strong like RR, rolling over and sitting up at 3 months. She is also Lactose intolerant which means I'm drinking lactose free milk for as long as I breastfeed her. I also miss ice cream. We also no longer cloth diaper because they turned her feet purple no matter how loose we had the diaper. It makes me a little sad but the world isn't going to end because of either problem. RR is a great help with WL, and loves having a little sister.

Right now I am laying in bed next to my husband as he snores away after spending over an hour attached to a breast pump and tip toeing through the girls bedroom from the living room to my bed. It's amazing how much noise doors and floors make when you're trying to be quite. Part of me is hoping WL will sleep for a good long while because I can't seem to get to sleep; the other part realizes this hope is useless.

I feel this is really disjointed, but it's some ungodly hour in the morning.
