I put an end to my self-imposed house arrest, and actually went grocery shopping today. It was kind of nice to feel like a “normal” human being again. Actually, I’ve been struggling with post-partum depression since we came home, but I seem to be past it now for the most part. I am even adjusting to the highly interrupted sleeping schedule, so I don’t feel like a zombie so much anymore. (As long as I can manage at least 7 hours before the night is through, then I’m okay.) I think the depression and the lack of sleep were closely related.
I also took Xander in for his weigh-in this afternoon. He’s up to 6lbs 5ozs. Yeah! Go Xander! The other kids are doing well, too. I feel bad that we hardly mention them in here. They all got straight A’s at the end of term a couple of weeks ago. Ryan and Rusty went to Merit Badge Pow-wow at BYU and earned (or are close to earning) some of their required merit badges. Ryan is a Star in rank now, and Rusty just earned his first class. Hard to believe that in just three weeks, Rusty will be ordained a deacon! Sam is doing Cub Scouts and is keeping us all laughing with his sweet sense of humor. Finlay is doing great in school and having fun playing with friends. (Gee, this post is starting to sound like a Christmas newsletter.) Camary and I enjoy watching Star Trek together in the evenings. Well, gotta go run kids to scouts. Until next time …
