He's Here

August was a busy, emotional, chapter closing month.  I was able to release alot of worry and set into relaxion mode which for me included sleep, sleep, and more sleep.  OH and lots of nesting!  My gorgeous son, who continues to teach me how to take care of myself, decided not to listen to me and arrived August 26.  That was an interesting week: mediation, Wednesday prenatal, which ended with my midwife saying im in denial and the baby was coming that week lol.  I was in denial or maybe hoping for more pregnant time.

Now that he is here i am very overwhelmed with the next layer or motherhood that I have before me.  Learning to juggle 4 children in a oober tiny space kinda makes me want to climb under a mole hill due to suffocation.  I love my children, but im realizing that I need change really bad.  This new stage = less phone time, chatting, outdoors, and socializing for the time being.  I am enjoying his smell, smiles, and smooches all day.  He is a blessing I have long awaited.
