Getting into the Groove

Samuel is 13 days old today.  WHERE is time going?!?

Today is my second day home alone with Samuel.  I spent Friday relaxing with the baby and dog after my mom left to go back to Pennsylvania, so today is the first day where I actually have to get things done.  This morning was spent running laundry, cleaning the dining room, and singing Old McDonald more times than I can count.  I am eating my lunch right now while Samuel entertains himself in the {magical} Fisher Price Little Lamb swing for a few minutes.

You see my child has decided he’s only taking 2 naps a day and neither is more than an hour and a half: one in the AM and one in the PM.  This has happened the past two days, so during those naps I am attempting to do housework in a fury.  I’m sure I’ll adjust, but I don’t think I have ever dusted so fast in my life!

This afternoon Samuel and I are venturing out to meet some of my girlfriends for coffee.  The plan is to meet at a Starbucks in a Super Target.  This way I can spend some time with my friends, and then pick up a few items that we need.  Then later tonight {assuming it doesn’t rain} Nathan, Samuel, Stitch, and I are going to hit up the park for a nice long walk.  We haven’t unpacked our stroller yet, because I’ve been so obsessed with my Moby wrap…but I think we’ll give the stroller a try tonight.

More recipes to come later this week.  Pinky swear!

My DS was the same way with naps. Still waiting for longer naps 4 months later…

Good luck with the stroller but bring the moby just in case.

I have that magical swing on my registry! I haven’t heard one bad thing about it from mom’s :-)

Sounds like you are a natural and you’re in a good groove. Glad to hear you are able to take a shower!
