I confess.. that I am exhausted. I don't know how people seem to think I always look "so put together" because I don't feel that way at all.
I confess.. I ate donut holes for breakfast every morning this week so far.
I confess.. I still haven't finished all the thank you cards from our baby shower or from all the things we recieved and visitors we had during the begining of our hospital stay.
I confess.. I am only strong in my situation because strong is the only thing I can be. I have to be for my Daughter, for my hubby, and for myself.
I confess.. I am dissapointed that our house still isn't finished so we have to bring Teale home to the tiny house D has been living in while I finished school so she has to share a room with us, which was the plan but I wanted to have her nursery done so I could play with her in there and rock her in her rocking chair, but we don't even have room for her rocking chair in this tiny house. Hopefully it will be done soon.
I confess.. I haven't shaved my legs in a week.
I confess.. I drank 2 Dr Peppers today.
I confess.. that I didn't brush my teeth last night. ew!
I confess.. I over do myself most days walking around the hospital, lifting things, etc. At this rate my c section incision will never heal.
I confess.. I love being part of a "mommy group" with other Moms that were due in June but it's kind of depressing seeing that they're all still pregnant, got to do their nurseries, and are getting their maternity pictures done. I know I am blessed, oh I am BLESSED to have such a healthy and strong little girl, but I didn't get to enjoy the last 6 weeks of when I was pregnant, then she came 10 weeks early. I feel like I missed out on such a big "mommy experience".
I confess.. I am really annoyed with people telling me they're going to come visit us at the hospital then they never show up and don't even call to say they're not coming. Surprisingly we have a busy day and I have to arrange it around visitors, well I used to, then I decided if they wanted to come they can come around our schedules.
I confess.. while typing this I really could be doing one of the above things that I have slacked on. super slacker.

Girl, I'm a horrible person. I never finished my thank you cards for my baby shower.. a year ago!!
My daughter was a NICU baby (not a preemie though, she had an infection) for a week and just that week alone was awful. I felt so bad for feeling that way but I was feeling like I got jipped out of the normal mommy experience at the hospital. People couldn't visit her, she was never in my room, I didn't get to leave WITH her, you know...So in your situation I think you're allowed to feel all of these things. I'm a new reader so I'm just catching up on your posts but your baby girl is beautiful and thank God for all her amazing progress!!
You are SO STRONG! And you just had the baby shower like 2 weeks ago...I think you're still got for like, another 2 weeks! And people should understand. You just keep doing your thing and what is best for your family. Think of how far you've all come already!
Thank you for the sweet comment on my blog. I 100% think you are entitled to feel all of these things, your little girl is so precious and I am happy she is doing well!

There is nothing wrong with donut holes for breakfast! If it makes you happy, DO IT!!!
As far as the nursery and having everything ready, don't sweat it. I know you want it done like NOW, but your sweet daughter isn't going to care one bit what her room looks like. :o)
These are all great confessions and don't fret about any of them. I am so glad your baby girl is doing good. That is all that matters! Stay strong mama! XO
I know how you're feeling. We're still not letting a lot of people visit the baby, because we're worried about germs. Hang in there!
