hi everyone I had a baby

[wickedcherub]

I think it's about time I started using this again. I've been reading all your posts, but I haven't added anyone new for a while and everyone's sort of moved on.

I'm still currently on Twitter as @tinadearing, on Tumblr at wickedcherub.tumblr.com and on Facebook as Tina Dearing.

What has happened since I last posted? Oh, I had a baby! His name is Liam Minh Khoa and he has pretty much taken over my life. The first 8 weeks were the hardest of my life. I cried a lot and was overwhelmed a lot and there were days (many) in which Liam wouldn't stop crying unless I was holding him and wouldn't sleep unless I was holding him, so I was just stuck to the couch until Adam came home from work after which I could eat and pee and shower. :( It's placed a strain on our marriage (which we're both completely aware of, so we try to take time for just each other).

But things are much better now so I have some time to start posting again! I'm halfway through writing my birth story so I will post that when it's done.

I have LOTS of photos of Liam here: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=30898001&l=af9832fd2e&id=206900387 and they are in chronological order.

I'm sure there will be more interesting things to post about as I get into the swing of things again and perhaps add more people who are actually interested in babies. :D

I had dropped you a while back when you weren't posting anymore and I was trying to clean up my flist, but I've added you back now. :D

Haha yeah I had noticed but I didn't mind so much because I wasn't posting and I had you friended pretty much everywhere else!

Also I will gladly look at your baby pictures if you post them here.

WHEN ARE YOU DUE?

[marksykins.livejournal.com]

APRIL 6. 9 WEEKS. I'm in the 'I am very tired of this but don't come out yet, kid' stage.

It'll be better when you finish work, I think. Do you have much maternity leave?

omg look at that nose! He's so adorable!

[wickedcherub.livejournal.com]

Haha yeah thanks, we think he's pretty cute and it's the only thing stopping us putting him up on Ebay some days.

So cute! Congrats and much strength to you! It's things like not being able to go to the bathroom all day that one never thinks about but is hell when it happens, especially since new parents need streams of coffee to survive. :p

Yeah, I know. BUT THOSE DAYS ARE BEHIND US NOW. Thanks :)

Congratulations! He is adorable, and I love his name. IT sounds like a tough time, but I wish you the best. :)
