Wacky Momma

You know how pregnant women say they have "preggo brain." Well let me tell ya, it does NOT go away after the baby leaves your belly. Somehow your brain is tricked into thinking that the baby is still in there or something. I mean...it's been 6 months and I still have preggo brain. I just call it "momma brain" now.

I have done some pretty interesting things since being a mom. I'll just blame it on lack of sleep.

Number 1: When Kayson was a few months old, I was changing his diaper in the middle of the night. I opened up his sleeper, took his legs out, opened up the new diaper, lifted Kayson's legs up, slipped the new diaper under his buttocks, and proceeded to fasten the diaper up. Um...what about the dirty diaper? It was still on his butt, nice and fastened, with a new diaper on top of it. I didn't even take the dirty diaper off. (Don't worry, I fixed my mistake before going back to sleep.)

Number 2: Right now, we are sleep-sharing. Basically it means that instead of just two people sleeping in our queen sized bed, there are three. KJ is still waking up every 2 hours to eat and it is wearing me out. His bassinet is right in our room and sleeps perfectly fine in it. He doesn't NEED to sleep in our bed. I'm just too lazy. I get tired of getting up out of bed, feeding him, and then putting him back in his bassinet. So now I just get him out of his bassinet, give him the 'boob' and go back to sleep while he's eating. So simple. Well...on one particular morning, I forgot to cover up after feeding him. In my sleep, I rolled up onto my stomach. Something cold and wet ended up waking me up. My first thoughts, "Did I pee on myself? Did Kayson pee out his diaper? Did someone puke?" Then, I realized that I had emptied out my entire breast of it's milk. Yeah....

Number 3: When Kayson was taking his nap, I decided to pump some milk for his cereal. I attached the pump and started pumping away. (Yay for the manual pumps that you have to do yourself. It really does make me feel like a cow.) Anywho, while I was pumping I decided to go check on KJ. While I was peeking in, I felt something drop on my foot. I stopped pumping and looked down, but I didn't really see anything. So I started pumping again. And again I felt a drip drap on my foot. I look down again while still pumping and I realize that I had forgotten to attach a bottle to the pump. All of my milk was going straight from my body to the pump to the floor. Ugh.

Yeah...I'm losing my mind. But I'd go insane for my little guy, and his oh so hot father. I mean...that father helped me create this handsome little boy!
