Today is the first day that my husband is back at work, which leaves me, the baby, and the dog home alone. I must admit, I was not looking forward to today at all. For almost a week, I've been dreading it. Yesterday, I cried to my husband about it. But, it came and now I'm in the midst of it. Even though I really miss my husband, Baby Girl and I have been doing just fine. She's beginning to adjust to naps in the Pack 'n Play and I'm beginning to adjust to being a mom. It really is overwhelming that this little person relies on me for absolutely everything, from food to changing diapers to any interactions to feeling safe.
She did not like Sun Time nearly as much as she does when her daddy is here. He has a huge calming influence on her and they just soak in the sun from the window. We still had Sun Time, but it just wasn't the same.
So, even though my husband was a huge help in the first 2 weeks of her life and I relied on him for so much during that time, I know we are really going to make it while he's at the office. I'm gonna be a big girl and Baby Girl, doggie, and I are going to do this!
You'll do great! It's freaky and scary to all of a sudden have a life relying on you...when they were inside it's as if they were tucked in safely. Every single day it's something new and they're evolving to their next stage/phase...the Lord only knows what's next! I'm sure you'll find your groove. I'm only a text away!
