I started this blog when I was at home with my first LO - THREE YEARS AGO! And I'm resurrecting it for my sanity, to give myself something to do at nap times other than watch office re-runs and eat cookies.
The blog has been a sanity saver on this, day one of maternity leave on my own. Today I cried hearing my husband's voice on the phone from his office, wishing we had a paternity policy in this country that would at least give me a partner in crime until my 6 week wellness check up at the OB. Because being at home is lonely for an extrovert. My second baby (so far) is the sweetest thing - a far cry from the devil baby I had three years ago - and he is an entirely wanted gift from god. But to say he's not enough makes me a bad mom, right?
But I haven't gotten the timing down for taking a walk, and he sleeps so well and frequently inside that I've been tethered to the couch all day. If not nursing, then non-nutritive nursing (and this kid does not have nipple confusion, the little pacifier protester).
[editors note - I started this post like three weeks ago. Since then he has turned into a cute yet difficult no-napper in week 5]
Anyhow, long story short - I'm back! Documenting my maternity part deux in the few seconds I have between sleep cycles. Time to hold the little grunter for the rest of his nap.
XX.
