Happy Friday

It's been awhile since I've posted anything worth reading. And maybe today won't be the exception. I kinda feel like I lost my funny in the last few weeks. Just being so overdue and then having a new baby and all that this means... it just takes a lot out of ya!

But here I sit on this Friday morning and I'm really happy! No more baby blues (which nobody really prepares you for...) and my boy is having a short nap on the big chair in my living room. It's a nice, happy SUNNY friday morning. I couldn't ask for more!

It's a big adjustment to become a parent. I think for the first 2 weeks, I was just in shock and wondering... will my life be like this for the rest of my life? Will I never be able to get out of the house without feeling total stress? Will I ever be able to take a shower without listening to my baby crying? Can I eat breakfast? Ever. Again?

And the answer to all of those is yes.

We've been out running some errands and it's getting easier. The first trip we made was to the bank drive-thru and Hudson screamed all the way there, all during my deposit and then calmed on the way home. That was trip #1. Since then, we've made trips all over and he's getting more and more happy to be in the car!

Another happy thing is getting him on a schedule! It's been a bit nail biting at times to hear him cry and give myself 5 minutes before going to him just to see what he'd do on his own. Well, let me just say that last night I got a full night's sleep. He woke up when he was hungry. And ate a very good breakfast! So I feel amazing this morning!

Now the best part about Friday is that Dad is off on the weekends and we're going to the farmer's market tomorrow unless it's really rainy. I hope it's not because it'll be fun to get outside together... um, as a family! Agh, that makes me happy to say that!! And of course, we'll leave our dog at home. He's another post altogether.

So I'm going to log off now. And eat something before my baby wakes up again and it's bath time! :-)
