Small goals…
Pump…take a nap…
Those were the only things on the list today. Now in the back of my mind there was also “don’t have an emotional breakdown if he is crying”, and “try to unpack from the farm”.
Goal number one, partially accomplished this morning. Goal number two, a glorious two hours midday.
Some peoples babies may sleep all day. Mine does not. Ijah has a great deal of “lert” time. Some of this is spent looking around, checking out the latest in ceiling fan technology, other times we discover the contents of the crib…books, songs, and fussing taking second to eating and pooping. The eating and pooping are really the main time consumers. Its actually quite amazing how much time these activities actually take up.
Today however crib exploration allowed me to unpack half of the farm bags, and a round of hiccups is letting me do a quick blog. I try to hold him when he has the hiccups, they seem to confuse him to no end. I understand, they confuse me too.
I have avoided any emotional breakdowns today, even with his fussy bouts. I’m getting better at not taking them personally…I’m also getting better at one handed typing…


Happy 2 week birthday Elijah!!
Keep mom on her toes for me, okay?
