Spring weather is finally here! Thank goodness too. I wasn't too sure how much longer I could deal with the snow and cold. It's different when you have a child in the winter vs. when I didn't have one. I was able to cope much better with it then I am now. We both get cabin fever a lot. Thats why I think if we were to move to Calgary and were close to Francesca and girls I wouldn't mind the winter so much. We would be too busy hanging out and doing things with the kids. We may even get sick of each other, actually I highly doubt that. When we were pregnant last year we use to talk every single day for hours on end. Now not so much, but that is a given since we have kids and don't have that time anymore.
So the weather is nicer and does my mood ever feel better. I don't feel so confined and restricted. We can now go out for long walks, go to the park or the store. Anything really and not have to worry about being cold. Even just having the windows open in our place is so refreshing. It is amazing how some warmer weather and a little more sleep can help with my PPD.
Which brings me to that topic. My ppd, not so good. I mean its I feel better in a sense compared to when he was first born, but now I feel different. Its a different feeling. I still debate so much about going on medication. I just don't want it to be passed to Dagney, thats all. I already don't like taking them myself and then if he were to get traces of in him, that would make me feel too uncomfortable. So I guess for now I am just going to go with the natural way. Make sure I get some sleep which is still hard, eat right, get out and be social. It should help for the most part. And I am sure summer will make it even more better with all that lovely sunshine I love.
So since we have been having such nice weather I took Dagney swimming on Tuesday. We walked all the way there which is about a 30-40 minute walk which was so nice. I got my exercise and we both enjoyed the nice warm weather finally. I will admit I was afraid of a freak out with the pool. Dagney can be sensitive to some things and I thought this might be one of them. BUT he loved it. Wasn't too sure at first, but warmed up the idea of all the water or a big bath tub and really enjoyed it! I think it helped others were there around him so he could be social. He is a social butterfly as long as they aren't holding him and I am in arms reach. It was funny because every time a girl or a woman would walk by he would totally look at them and do the whole head and body follow when they walked by, not just his eyes so he is a typical boy. haha I think I might take him again next week, I will just have to see what we have planned.
Dagney also had his first park trip yesterday too! I wanted to put him in the swings and see what he would do. He didn't seem too thrilled or excited at all. Just sat there while I pushed the swing. I was able to get him to giggle a few times and smile a bit. I think he might of been just tired, because as soon as we left he fell asleep in his stroller. Silly guy.
I haven't really thought of anything else I could do with him that is free other then the park or going for walks. Once it gets even more nicer, the grass turns green and its not soo wet from everything melthing I can let him play in the grass and have a picnic maybe. Should be fun! I am really looking forward to this summer. So many things to do with him. I now have an excuse to do all the kids things and not look awkward.
