I feel like a new woman | hippieheart's Blog

I feel like a new woman...one this is more refreshed, less stressed and loving life! 

Let me tell you ~ I am loving the new bedtime routine.  It's actually the old routine, just revisited.



While in Florida, my husband always gave our son his bath and, with the exception of my nursing, he also was in charge of bedtime. It was a nice break for me and it gave the boys some time together, alone.



When we got out here (and I'm not sure exactly why or how) but we fell out of that routine. I think, initially, it was because we didn't set up our son's bathtub ~ there just wasn't anywhere to put it!  So, I crawled into the bath with him. But that somehow then also lead to me reading to him...and then nursing him...and getting him into bed. It made for some long days.



I am still taking baths with him, but now Daddy has once again taken over the entire bedtime routine...and I gotta say that I love it. Now, after the bath, I accompany the boys into our son's room while Daddy puts his pajamas on him...and then our son gives me a kiss goodnight and I am outta there! No more nursing. It is a wonderful, wonderful thing and I truly appreciate my husband's enthusiasm and understanding ~ he is just so bad-ass!



It is not even 7:30pm and I can have a glass of wine, if I wanted. (Oh wait, we're out of wine right now). But I could have one IF I wanted and IF we had some! Ah, a nice change. And, with only the one nursing now, I find that I am not nearly as exhausted as I feel on most days.



I am quite happy and thankful for the changes as of late ~ I feel like a new woman.
