Adjustments and acknowledgements
Posted by Alli on April 5, 2009
Damon took this picture of me yesterday and it is the first picture of me where I feel like I look like myself again. As a result, I feel like things are normalizing and evening out in a good way. Sure, I still feel sleep deprived (falling asleep in the church nursery after nursing Tebow is a pretty good indication), but there are small things I’m acknowledging and adjustments I’m making in order to pave the way to my “new normal.”
For one thing while I have been missing my solid 8 hours of sleep each night, I must also acknowledge I have adjusted my caffeine intake to way less than before Tebow. So, less sleep plus less daily caffeine may have a bit more of a negative effect than I realized.
Another thing I’m acknowledging is how I’m allowing myself to be paralyzed by the variable named Tebow. Once he’s fed, I’ve kind of just been sitting there not know what he’s going to do next. So my adjustment is to feed him and then get moving to the next thing. I can put him down or wear him while I attempt chores or focus on Fuller.
It feels good to feel a little bit like I’m more in control and moving forward in our new normal.

You look great! My aunt just had her fifth baby last week (little Amelia Margaret) and she looked like hell yesterday. I don’t know how she does it!
