happy one week old

vivi (pronounced viv-ee)
happy one week old my baby baby girl! one week later and you're wearing your leaving the hospital outfit again...geeez! it's like you're a poor baby or something. it's been a rough week but i'm slowly recovering and in another couple of days i should be my pre pregnancy weight. i'm like those celebrities that are out shopping in their regular clothes a few weeks afer giving birth and everyone's supposed to be super amazed at how skinny they are again. it's nice to be skinny again though...i'll finally be able to try on my new forever 21 stuff and my h&m clothes. yah being skinny! it's really one of those things that you can't get enough of, good thing i still have a relatively fast metabolism that lets me eat whatever the hell i want.the big brother and big sister
he's being his usual tv monster self and she's causing trouble like always...i'm gonna have my hands full with these three. luckily i'm still young and have energy i have no idea how older moms can handle toddlers they take up so much energy.

sometimes it's pretty stressful being a parent, there's so much more you have to consider before making any changes to your life. when i was younger i asked my dad why he used an exercise bike at home rather than ride a bike outside and get some fresh air; he told me that it was dangerous riding your bike on the streets and he had to minimize the amount of danger he put himself in because he had a family to take care of. at the time i was really young so i just figured he was being overly dramatic but now that i have my own kids i understand what he's talking about. suddenly all the choices that i make in my life have to be thought through so much more carefully and i can't live my life selfishly any longer. i was looking at all the halloween pictures that everyone's been posting online and for a little while i felt a slight tinge of jealously for the fun everyone else was having but after seeing my babes i realized i'm not the one with the short end of the stick and i've just chosen a different path.

How come you haven't written? How are you feeling? Are you still tired? Did Jayden open his Elmo puzzle? Are the pieces big enough? Omg, I can't stop shopping!
