I apologize for not posting much lately. I haven't been having the easiest time and am a little overwhelmed! I debated whether or not to write about it but I do have to acknowledge the amazing people in my life. I've had a bad case of the 'baby blues.' I tend to have major hormonal issues and I was a mess when Cyrena was born as well. So the wonderful friends and family in my life have intervened and done their best to reassure and distract me and give me breaks. They are truly amazing and I'm so grateful for their support. I sometimes feel so isolated living here away from family. Then I throw a pity party for myself and feel like I am not cut out to be a mother. I know a BIG part of all these awful, awful feelings is sleep deprivation which I know will get better soon (hopefully!). I do love my girls and love to kiss them to death, I just don't feel adequate a lot of times. Figuring out a newborn is such an overwhelming task and at times seems impossible. I know it will get better, it has to! I'm looking forward to my mother-in-law's visit next week, it will be a great distraction. And I'm looking forward to these hormones getting under control!
On a lighter note, Cyrena finished up another session of her art class. It was every Saturday morning and she just loves it. It's the second time she's done it and she enjoys every minute of it. Here are some pictures from today.
David wrote down all the things Cyrena was thankful for, then she took a turn writing down what David was thankful for.
Cyrena and her teacher, Miss Sheri. She has taken a few classes from her and LOVES her.
Our 4-eyed child. These are her sunglasses that she took the lenses out of. She loves wearing them still, but people really think she has glasses.
Our pink baby. She looks sweet when she's sleeping huh? You're all welcome to come over when she's screaming!
