The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

The Good:
Last night Ezra slept from 10:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m, then from 3:30 to 8:00 a.m. Not too bad, I don't think I could ask for much more from her at this point.

The Bad:
She farts like a man. I mean like between the two of us, no one is going to believe that sound didn't come from me.

The Ugly:
Apparently pregnancy brain is replaced with post partum brain. When I was pregnant I would do little absent minded things like look at my calculator to see what time it was, instead of my cell phone. Calculators don't tell time, silly! Now I feel like I'm walking through a haze of needing to do everything...all at once. I don't know how else to explain it. Ezra started day care on Monday, and since returning to work I feel like on top of the fifty things that I need to do to get caught up at work, I need to hold, feed, and take care of my baby all day. This makes it extremely hard to focus on any one thing. And I'm sure the lack of sleep and the caffeine aren't helping the hazy brain. I now know why many women don't return to work after giving birth, it goes against everything that your mind, heart and even body tell you that you should be doing. Seriously, my arms feel empty all day.
