Third diaper tonight and (successfully👍) getting the little one down.

Counting sheep just to try and catch some sleep myself

Things are looking up; the Baby has a great appetite🧐

It’ll happen in the blink of an eye. I can already picture Hans when the Baby starts crawling around everywhere. Grace Anderson3, are you guys living in a ranch-style house?

A weekday? 🤔

Walter Baker2 said:He'll be walking in no time. I can already picture Hans once the Baby starts crawling. Grace Anderson3, are you guys on the ground floor?

We're on the ground floor, sort of... elevated. We've got a yard with a lot of bushes. 🕺

Yesterday was Thursday, and traffic in New York City is always a nightmare on a weekday.

Yesterday was Thursday, and traffic in New York City can get pretty chaotic on a weekday.

OK

I had already assumed you started working.

Not quite...
Actually, Hans and I were just talking today about when I should head back to work. The idea was to return after a year, which would mean dropping the Baby off at daycare once they turn one... And now we're both wondering if that's even a good move 🤷 considering how much time they'll have spent away from us 🤷 but we have to give our employer an answer within two weeks at the latest, especially with those massive daycare waiting lists.

Actually, Hans and I were just having a long talk today about when I should head back to work. We were thinking maybe after a full year, which would mean we'd have to find a spot for the Baby in daycare once he hits his first birthday... And now we're just sitting here wondering if that's even the right call 🤷 since he'll be so separated from us by then 🤷 but we really need to give our employer an answer within the next two weeks or so, especially with those long waiting lists for childcare.

Jittery

What's Baby doing over the weekend?🍿

Everything else is business as usual; sleeping, nursing from Mom, cooing, and letting out those little squeaks when things aren't quite right. Diapers getting filled, passing gas, and rocking in the crib (once he wiggled so hard he actually rolled onto his stomach—we really have to keep an eye on him)...

Wanna go for a walk? 🤔

We make progress every single day, even if it's just a tiny bit. 🙂

Where's he at? In one of those chest carriers?🤔

In the stroller for now. We’ll switch over to the carrier once the Baby can hold their head up a bit better—it's still way too early for that.

He's all fed and cleaned up, just acting a little fussy now... If he actually crashes, maybe we’ll get some sleep too (we've been up since about 5:30).🥱

Fine. As long as Baby is happy. You two are just here to support him. Your lives are basically over, and your only purpose now is making sure Baby stays satisfied.😍

Lately I’ve been watching these sweet little Babies on the street, just passing by and they can't stop staring at me in total awe 😲

Well, babies used to look at me that way a year or two ago, too.🍿

Why are you surprised? That's just how the schedule works. ☕
