Daily Pictures Start Today!
We didn’t get the Eye-Fi set up last night because I was dead tired. Shaun went mountain biking after work and didn’t get home until 7:50. That meant that I did the whole bedtime routine by myself which isn’t a big deal it’s just more difficult. By the time I got dinner done and we had eaten it was 8:45 and I was ready for bed. We were in bed by 9 and lights were out by 9:15 (get your minds out of the gutter-we were reading). My little superstar sleeper slept until 6:15 this morning so I got 9 hours of sleep last night. WOO and HOO! Of course I had crazy stress dreams all night long but oh well, at least I got to sleep for 9 hours.
Even though the Eye-Fi did not get set up, I still took my first daily picture of Lucy with my phone. She was so smiley this morning-see?
She’s started giving kisses on command!!! Last night I asked her to give Mommy a kiss and I got a big wet slobbery one. We played a game where I would kiss her and say “Mommy gives Lucy a kiss. Will Lucy give Mommy a kiss?” And then she’d kiss me and I’d say “OH THANK YOU!” and she’d crack up. We did that for about 10 minutes last night. I was covered in Lucy slobber and it was so worth it!
I had the realization last night that since I’ve been back to work (4 months now) I haven’t done anything for myself without Lucy. Breastmilk is such a precious resource that I never leave her with Daddy and a bottle. Plus I miss her so much while I work that I don’t want to leave her alone when I have the chance. But, I think I need to get over this and leave her with Daddy for a few hours one weekend. I do need some “me” time and the train ride to work, work, grocery shopping, and cooking don’t really count. Maybe I’ll take a babystep and go for a run this weekend all.by.myself. I do have an issue in that I don’t know what I’d go do. Sad, huh?
Time to start brainstorming.

a run all alone sounds like a great idea! or how about going to see a fun movie, or going to the mall to find a pair of summer sandals? or going to a pretty spot with a book and just reading in the sun for an hour?
Yep you definitely need me time. Go for a run. Daddy won’t break her 🙂
Awww what a great photo!!!
And I love “woo and hoo”. Might have to steal that one!
I think that some alone time would be great. I know you don’t want to leave her but you will be a better healthier mommy if you take great care of YOU! Love, love, love the pics! Corinne
