Today is my first day going solo. Chris went back to work today, so it’s just me and Jack. Chris has been such an amazing help the last three weeks that I was nervous about today, but so far, so good! Right now, Jackson is snoozing away in his pack and play, which normally would mean I would be napping, but right now is Riley and Bella time. The poor puppies have been getting the cold shoulder since Baby Jack’s arrival. The fact that Jack is in the pack and play is kind of a big deal for me. I've been a little, shall we say, hovering around him. I thought I'd be a badass and this kid would be sleeping in his crib within a week or two. Yeah, no. He sleeps at night in the bassinet which is literally right next to our bed. During the day, he's been on his boppy or giraffe mat so I could see him and keep him close. But today, I put him in the pack and play so I could let the dogs out for a bit. I am pretty proud of myself right now! I am hoping to get into a better schedule, which would include time for the dogs and regular naps so that I can plan out my day a little better. I never realized how much work one little person can be! It seems there is always something for him – a diaper to be changed, or he’s hungry, or there’s laundry to be done (his, not mine) – and then there’s the normal house stuff – playing with the dogs, dishes, laundry. And here I am playing on the computer. Oh well – everyone needs a break every now and then!
