These are critical reminders for every parent. 2 years ago I experienced almost your identical situation. My daughter was at the pool with 5 trusted adults. Her puddle jumper was taken off and minutes later she was pulled from the bottom of the pool. Like Luca, she threw up a ton of water and quickly returned to her usual self. I count blessings every day. I was not with her that day -- I got the call at work. Our stories could have turned out so differently and I hope others can learn from these situations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3817115372844451564.post-49491337490233214642015-11-24T15:18:18.598-08:002015-11-24T15:18:18.598-08:00Keeping you all in my prayers.Keeping you all in my prayers.ahlalouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00397105455986043244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3817115372844451564.post-90835456024357007802015-06-09T15:07:28.394-07:002015-06-09T15:07:28.394-07:00Beautifully told.

It's hair-rippingly aggravating.<br /><br />It can take awhile to get your mojo back after new parenthood. I adore both of my sons, but just adapting to parenthood, not being able to sit down and enjoy a meal, not knowing how long I'd be able to sleep when I went to bed... it was exhausting. You'll get there, on all fronts. It just takes time.<br /><br />Not much comfort when you're in the middle of it, but this too really <i>shal</i>l pass.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14775794907218052899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3817115372844451564.post-87444969603460153142011-07-30T11:02:20.981-07:002011-07-30T11:02:20.981-07:00Working out sounds like a great idea!

Besides, taking some time just for you, for something you know you want and need to do (I remember you talking about how much you enjoyed Nia, for one thing), is so important once kids come into the mix.<br /><br />I just got below my pre-pregnancy weight for my first child.

It's the second, third, seventh, twentieth... at least that's my experience ;)<br /><br />And good for you, making an active choice to get 30 minutes to yourself! You've got to do that at some point, truly, and at Levi's age babies are a bit, uhm, <i>quirky</i>. Add to that, as you said, the post c-section stuff, the breast pump, and it's enough to drive a new mother around the bend.<br /><br />The mommy wars don't help either. Looking back at all the stuff I stressed about, it was such a small part of my children's lives. But at that very moment it was their <i>entire</i> lives! <br /><br />Speaking as a much more elderly Amanda (LOL) this too shall pass. Levi will chill, and your life will start to be a bit less insane.
