Coffee...

how I LOVE thee! I never seemed to be a big drinker of the stuff. I would have it on occassion and never everyday. it was something that usually tasted good or I would crave it!

Well that has all changed since I had Avery. We didn't even own a coffee pot until after he was born...and now we are almost using it everyday! I know its not something that is highly recommended during pregnancy but i only have one cup a day. I tried to cut it out and well...it made for one mean and grumpy mama! So for the kids sake I kept it!

It wasn't that Avery was a terrible sleeper...actually he was always very good about sleeping. Of cours in the early days they are up to eat and get changed, but nothing out of the ordinary. He was sleeping through completely(8-10 hrs) by 6 months.

So why was I still sleep deprived? Pregnancy does some weird things to your body and I don't think I'll ever recover from them. I don't sleep as soundly as I once did...this is probably due to having mommy on the brain and I NEEDED to hear him(as dh never would). But also my body just aches if it stays in one place too long...back, hip,back, hip..etc. Plus I don't think my bladder will ever make a full recovery as Avery sat pretty low and with the c/s.

Now I just can't wait to be able to sleep on my belly again! I'm a total belly sleeper and miss it so much!

Keith has also said that we may need to buy coffee by the gallon with amount we drink each day...i think its just b/c it seems its so much more than what we drank before!
