I haven't written in a little while because I am adjusting to my new life. It's true...'a baby changes everything'...
Here's what my days have started to look like. Note that X is not on any sort of a schedule yet, so this is just what yesterday looked like, not necessarily at all what today will look like!
4 am - feed
4:30 am - change diaper
7:45 - feed
8:00 - change diaper
9:30 - mom's time to get ready
11:30 - feed
12:00 noon - play time for about 30 minutes
12:30 pm - mom's lunch time
1:00 - decorate house for Christmas!
4:30 - change very dirty and wet diaper :-(
4:30 - feed
5:45 - company begins arriving (in-laws, neighbors, and work friends)
6:15 - feed
6:30 - change diaper
7:00 - mom eats dinner
8:30 - feed
9:00 - change diaper
9:45 - feed
10:00 - change diaper
10:30 - say prayers with X and give him a "wake-up time goal". Believe it or not, he actually seems to respond pretty well to the goals. This morning he had bypassed the goal we had set of 2:45. Tonight we set a goal of 2:45 again (he made it to 2).
He is really a very good, content baby. I just never imagined how much time they take!!! I love every minute that I get to spend caring for him though :-)

You're doing great and it gets easier and less tasky as time goes on. (Be thankful you aren't doing the cloth diapers yet or you'd be changing him every hour and a half). Are you finding any knitting time yet?
ReplyDeleteA baby changes everything......for the better! Life doesn't get any better than having a child! You've probably already noticed how you can't believe how MUCH you LOVE that child!
ReplyDeleteLove him and every minute you have with him.
Life has a way of going by WAY too fast and "we have these monents to hold in our hands and have them slip through our fingers like sand."
Soon (trust me...SOON!) you'll be talking to your daughter-in-law about your BEAUTIFUL grandchild!
