I'm really quite tired. I slept from 4ish to 6:30 then 7ish to 9:30. Miles woke me up to feed Anna then he headed to bed so I drank some coffee, ate some cookies and set up camp in front of the computer like normal. I'm trying to finish some senior pictures that I took in October (oops). Although I spend a ton of time in front of the computer I find myself getting distracted way too much...and when I'm not distracted I just move slow. Cleaning up faces is tedious and I'm really quite tired of it, so I'm looking forward to getting these finished.

Anna is sleeping on my chest right now. She's way too cute for her own good...and she has on a dress sleeper thing which is actually a little too small. She wears it more like a shirt so her legs are bare...FYI - she has the cutest little pudgy legs ever.

I'm contemplating taking a nap, but I think I'd rather be tired and admire Anna rather than trying to sleep, though I could definitely use it.

I think I'm done now. I can't think of anything else to say. Maybe one day I'll have something interesting to talk about!

My Dream

I took a nap tonight with Anna sleeping on my chest. I think I slept for about an hour and a half, and it was nice. I had a dream that I found fairly entertaining...

Miles and I didn't have a baby, but we did have a baby sized monkey named Lilia. She was very cute and wore dresses. Close to the end of the dream she started growling/shaking her head like he was going to bite...then I became scared of my baby/monkey.
There were also huge swings at an amusement park/Aimee's friend's backyard. Everyone kept falling off and one kid got his head stuck in a baby swing as he fell.

Anna has been sleeping for most the day. She didn't sleep last night even though she acted super tired. I'm assuming she won't sleep tonight, either. The good news is that Miles doesn't have to work tonight (yay!).

I don't really have much to say anymore. I don't think I ever really did, but maybe I was just better at finding nothing to talk about.

Before and After

So, I'm currently editing pictures (pictures that I probably should be finished with by now) and I decided that I would show a before and after of a one of them.


His face edits well. Guys' faces are harder to edit than girls' because of the texture/facial hair.

I've been looking at some DIY and craft websites again. I get in moods to do things along those lines and I'm currently in that state. I don't know if I'll end up making anything or not, but I'm still kind of wanting to. This is something I'm currently liking:


I think it's cute.

Now it's time to make Miles' lunch then wake him up. Maybe I'll get myself something to eat and move around some laundry.

Anna is Cute

I never know what to write in here anymore. I also don't ever know how to start out posts when I actually do decide to write something. More often than not I'll start writing then decide that whatever I was going to say isn't important enough to post so I just delete it.

I got an email from my grandpa the other day. He was telling me to be careful who I decide to follow in the way of beliefs. Sure, that's good advice, but I'd say it's good advice for everyone...even him. I'm not mad, sad or anything similar to those emotions. I'd say I'm just not surprised. It's what happens when what you believe isn't popular...with anyone. 'Tis life.

Thanksgiving is coming up in a couple of weeks. I'm quite excited for it. I guess I'm just a big fan of food. I must say that I'm actually more excited for Christmas. Though both families are limited the gift giving I'm going to get something for everyone...or more so make something for everyone. I like to make things for people. It makes me happy.

Yesterday Miles and I rented "Robin Hood." We started watching it around 4:30 and I fell asleep around 5:15 probably. Miles fell asleep soon after. I woke up at 6 but he stayed asleep until about 1. It makes me laugh that when Anna is sleeping all we can really stand to do is sleep. Speaking of Anna sleeping, that is what she's doing now. She smiles in her sleep and it's super adorable.

I've been working on those pictures still. Not today, but I got what felt like quite a few done yesterday. So far they're some of my favorites.

Tomorrow I'm going to the grocery store. I'm quite excited about that. I'll be taking Miss Anna with me so hopefully she sleeps the whole time. That'll make the trip much easier.

Now on to finish listening to a study by Ron Exum.

Pictures

I'm out of cereal.

Okay, not completely. I have some Multigrain Flakes from months ago, but I only have the tiniest bit of milk left, and I thin I'd rather have a tiny glass of chocolate milk. This means that I will need to take a trip to the store tomorrow. That's fine with me. I like to have a reason to get out of the apartment, though I never know how I'm going to do when taking Anna along. We've yet to take her to the store, so I'm a little worried about that.

I took some family pictures yesterday at Krug Park. It went pretty well. We were only out there for about an hour and a half and it was super nice out. I think I got a few good ones...hopefully more than a few, but we'll count on a few so I'm not disappointed if not.

Anna slept pretty much all day yesterday. The last couple of days before that she really was staying awake for the most part and only sleeping for about 15 to 30 minutes at a time and about 1.5 to 2 hours at night. Last night she woke up to eat around 3ish I think and Miles brought her in to me then put her to sleep after. He brought her into the bedroom this morning, though I'm not sure what time and I fed her then she went back to sleep for a few hours. It was wonderful and I actually feel pretty well rested...for a few hours at least.

I think now I should give this little girl a bath. Miles is still sleeping and he usually helps me with it, but I don't think I'll wake him. Hopefully this goes smoothly and Anna doesn't get too angry with me for taking longer than usual.

Because I'm too tired for a real update...

Here are some quick thoughts/facts:

Having a baby is amazing.

I've never been so tired for such a long period of time.

Miles and I like each other again! (I think it helps that I'm not constantly complaining about being pregnant and that we have an adorable thing that we've made together living in our apartment.)

The good thing about newborns is that it doesn't matter what kind of schedule you keep because the baby will sleep whenever she wants to either way.

Giving birth (though I feel weird calling a C-Section 'giving birth') is the fastest way to lose weight ever.

Breastfeeding is a super close second.

It's strange having something you've been waiting for for so long be here.

I'm really happy that I can pop my back again...and sleep on my back again.

I actually enjoyed my time in the hospital. Is that weird?

I'm looking forward to being able to pump then bottle feed it to Anna.

Now, I'm going to go to sleep.
