Today was John's first day back at work.
I was dreading this day a little bit, having enjoyed spending almost the last 3 weeks uninterrupted with my husband. It was wonderful.
I fell in love with him on a totally new level watching him in dad mode and seeing how caring he has been with her and with me as I birthed her and recovered from said birthing.
And now I'm home alone with a 2 week old, a dog, and a cat.
None of whom speak or understand English.
"Sit", "paw", "lie down", "okay", and "stay" not withstanding.
Thankfully this little girl is an absolute angel.
She went to sleep at 11:45 last night, was up from 3:30-4:30 for a feeding, then went back down from 4;30-7:30 this morning.
I feel like one well-rested Mama.
Next Dear Daughter post will include a promise to buy her a pony if she doesn't change her sleeping habits for the next few weeks.
This is my plan for today.
Be warned, it's ambitious:
- Enjoy a hot cup of coffee. Real, caffeinated coffee.
- Watch the premiere of The Bachelor from last Monday.
- Do exercise of some sort. Use baby as weight.
- Do laundry.
- Blog about being a new mom.
___________________________________________________
Coffee - consumed in bed, snuggled with baby & dog while watching Breakfast Television. Coffee remained warm throughout consumption. Do not anticipate this trend lasting.
Bachelor - watched. Will this truly be the most dramatic season yet? I'm glad we can have some Mother-Daughter bonding over trashy TV. John has no interest in it. I need to start Evelyn early so I have a partner in crime.
Exercise - did 25 squats. Then ate a ziplock bag full of skittles. Plan to continue to do some squats and lunges around the house with the babe. Maybe lay out the yoga mat and do some stretches later.
Laundry - 2 loads! This day has been QUITE a success.
Blog - I've started up a sister blog to keep track of all my parenting adventures so that this blog doesn't just become all about the little baby that I'm currently obsessed with. My goal is to post every Tuesday and I will post the link on this blog for convenience :)
The new blog can be found here at Tuesdayfullofgrace.blogspot.com
Let's hope tomorrow is as successful as today was!
Tomorrows goals include take a shower, eat something other than ice cream for lunch, and watch some Sherlock
