-I may have bought a few decorations for Jaxon's first birthday party yesterday. I mean.....why wait until the last minute? I'll be the first to admit, motherhood is hard and comical. It's the best yet most exhausting job I have ever had. Your child consumes your mind all of the time. "Should I have given him an extra ounce of milk? Is that why he is fussy?"
"Do I smell poop?"
"I smell poop!""Did I turn on the sound machine?"
"Did I pack the paci for school?"
"Dang! It's in my purse!" I started back to work on Wednesday. It was hard, however, I now get to eat 2 regular meals! Plus, I actually get to sit down all day.
I cried on Tuesday (the day before I went back to work), and I haven't cried since. On Tuesday- I declared it PJ day for me and Jaxon. I showered just to put on fresh pj's! We took a nap together in my bed and I let him sleep as long as his little heart desired.......which was an hour. I forgot Babywise that day and I did 'Meg Wise' instead. I rocked that sweet baby to sleep a few times, napped with him on my chest and put him to bed early (which backfired on me when he woke up at 1:30 am).
Thankfully- I like his sweet daycare teachers and he smiles when I drop him off and pick him up. That makes it a little easier on me.
I'm already thinking of cute Valentine's gifts for him to give his friends at school! And I'm counting down the days until Thanksgiving break.
