Our routine for the first month…
I am the most productive in the morning. Dirk sleeps well, sometimes, but usually a couple of times a day he will get fussy and I will carry him around with me one-handed as I work on tasks as he ‘works things out’. Hopefully as he gets older he will be able to sleep longer and more soundly, recently he has had some problems with his nose and wakes himself up coughing… makes for cranky baby and sleepless mom. If I get to brush my teeth and wash my face before the afternoon hits we have had an easy morning and if I get a shower in before Gabe gets home(has happened only once so far) its blissful. Baby is happy and healthy and we have settled into this daily routine- I’m excited to see what next month has in store for us! Perhaps longer stretches of sleep(fingers and toes crossed)?
