Today is the first day that Nate and I have all to ourselves. Graham left us alone last week for a few hours (I expected him to be gone longer than he was), but today he left the house around 10 and won’t be home until 6 or so. And so far it’s been a pretty good day. I had a shower before Graham left. He made breakfast for us so we managed to eat together, too. Nate had a nap after his morning feed and I was able to do a few things around the house. I gave him a bath. I was nervous, my hands shaking the whole time, but he didn’t cry even for a second or poop in the tub and I didn’t drop his slippery little wet body. Now he’s swinging away quietly while I write this quick post. I’m planning to have a nap with him this afternoon.
Today this seems manageable. Easy, even. I wanted to create a record of a day like today so that when things are rough, I can remind myself that there are going to be ups and downs, and that the ups make the downs totally worthwhile.
(I managed to write a post for Aiming Low, too…head on over to read about why a hospital is no place to have a baby.)
Sounds like a pretty perfect day to me.
I'm happy for you. :]
want. to. squish.
Enjoy!
K, my ovaries hurt. Also, Nate looks like an old soul. He has so much going on behind those eyes. He's gonna be a smart boy, you just wait. He's is just beautiful. Congrats…
Glad you're getting to enjoy the happy moments like these.
I love how truthful and honest you’re being with yourself. You are a smart mommy.
Glad you’re enjoying being a Mom…it’s fun ride!
