Upside and downside if this weekend

Upside - LO loves zucchini.

downside - I ended up nursing her to sleep. She is only sleeping in 2 hour stretches. She wakes up very upset.

and for the first time in 6 months, I missed my per-baby life. I don't know why. I just found myself wishing I could have some smidge of it back. Just a smidge.

Re: Upside and downside if this weekend

  • I hear ya. Of course we wouldn't change anything but it is hard not to miss the old way of life! No shame in that.

  • Ya...it is strange the things i miss...kind of stupid stuff like  pointless Netflix marathons, or having friends over for long dinner parties....Or sending time with frends, period. we moved when i was 6 months pregnant, so we don't really know anyone here.  Until yesterday I had sort of dismissed anything i missed because LO is obviously way more important, she needs me and babies do not keep. I should enjoy every second that she needs me and i do....but after a few nights of hysterical screaming, yesterday i found myself really craving the time alone or time to sit in a restaurant with friends and just chat and drink wine etc.. I get i'll have those things again - it's just that they are still a long way off. 

     Maybe I should take a weekend off...or maybe DH, LO and I should take a trip to a nearby city and tour around. 

    The zucchini thing is amazing right? I would never have guessed she would like it. Steamed zucchini is not on my list of faves, but she seems really into it. 

  • The trip to a nearby city is a great idea. DH, LO and I went to the zoo near us last Friday. It was exactly what I needed. Went for dinner Thursday night, stayed in a hotel, and then zoo Friday. It doesn't sound like much, but it was amazing!

  • H's first food was grilled zucchini he also loved it.

    And I hear you just had a moment like that myself when I was coming home from work last week. It would have been so nice to take a nap, have a lazy dinner, and have TWO drinks. But, soon enough.

    ETA: imagine this is properly punctuated. Mobile bump FTW!
