How am I doing?

So many people have been sweet and thoughtful enough to ask me this question since Molly has been born. I know that the mama often gets overlooked after the baby is born with all the excitment and the demands of a newborn. I am physically doing great. I sometimes forget that I am still supposed to be taking it easy. Things like bending over to pick up laundry and a peice of trash on the floor...at the end of the day those are the things that make my muscles tired and achey. I'm trying to spend as much time in the morning while Thomas is gone on my butt doing nothing but resting and watching TV because when THomas comes home, he expects me to take care fo him. THen when Ben comes home, I in official "mom mode." There's no rest. I'm taking care of three kids, each very needy in his and her own way. Then when it is time to go to bed for the rest of the family, Molly loudly demands that it is her turn. She keeps me up in one way or the other until about 2 each night. I know this won't last and I'm trying to stay positive, but I'm very, very, very, very tired. So to answer the frequently asked question, "How are YOU doing, Christine?" I'm tired.
