Taking a Step Back

Seriously... how does anyone get anything done? I'm too obsessed with this precious baby. I don't want to leave her for a second. And I don't want any bassinet to have the privilege of holding her either. Happy Monday!


Evie's happy baby dreams.

  10. Enjoy every second. I can't tell you how many times I have been at the grocery store when my kids are crying and whining, when an older woman will come up to me and with pure conviction say, "you'll miss that someday."

    And you know what, I believe her. It goes too slow some days, but MOST of the time, it goes way too fast.

  23. You don't get anything done!! You just enjoy every second. I took about three months off completely with my first, and plan on the same for the second! Or almost completely :) I'll still review homework and answer student questions and do live chats :)

  25. Ah! Well, you don't get anything done. At least that's how it's been for me. My daughter will be 3 months old on Monday and I have yet to prepare a meal since her birth...I'm too busy holding and cuddling her all day long, and I love every second of it. We even nap together on the bed. Don't hesitate to take all the steps back you need.
    p.s. thanks for introducing me pandora's lullabye station! I'm going to make it part of our bedtime routine.
