John and I still look at each other every once in a while in disbelief. We can’t believe we created this little human being, and we can’t believe this is our new reality. I still personally have moments of panic when I realize this is permanent. Evan isn’t just visiting us to test our patience and love, Evan is part of our family now and will be until the very end. It’s quite the adjustment to go from a family of two where you have all the freedom in the world to do whatever, whenever to having your world ruled by a mini-person you can carry in one hand.
As far as being at home I’ve actually really enjoyed it. I think about work, but I know everyone there is surviving without me (somehow… ha ha ha!). I still feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day for everything I want to do around here, but once again, I’m not the one in charge. When my daily to-do list gets interrupted by my stirring baby I have to say to myself that it’s okay if the clean laundry doesn’t get put away for another day and that it’s not the end of the world if there is a pile of mail I haven’t sorted through yet.
I’ll end this post with some more pictures. I am definitely more camera happy than I ever have been, but these gems are care of my dear friend Melissa.
Gosh, he just has the biggest, most beautiful eyes, doesn't he! And that cute little pout of a mouth and all that gorgeous hair! He's going to be a problem as he gets older, that's for sure. You'll have girls banging down the door, for sure! :)
ReplyDeleteOh Josie that was so beautiful. I have a 10 month old, and she really does run the show. I completly agree with you saying that there isnt enough hours in the day. :) Keep smiling and enjoy this special time they truly do grow way to fast.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful baby you have :) Sounds like you're doing an amazing job and that you're a great mother. Good luck with everything :)
ReplyDeleteawwwww he's the cutest! I can't wait to read more of your blog and see the pictures on how he grows and changes along the way! I listen to the show every morning and I have to say I can't wait for you to be back doing "Josie and the City"! (Rush does do a great job of course though! so... tell him "no hard feelings!")

P.S I hope you read all your comments! they're sure to be great! everyone is SO supportive of you and we hope that you know that!
Ah Josie, Evan is so handsome! I remember with my first child I thought I would have lots of spare time during my maternity leave to catch up on things, but it's true, there's just not enough hours in the day! Don't worry, everything will come naturally, and one rule to remember: This too will pass.... (from my grandma)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful little guy!
ReplyDeleteHey Josie, my sister had a baby a few weeks ago, and she is sleeping through the night! And her secret is she uses a swaddling blanket. Its like magic. You should give it a try!
