Georgia is now 10 weeks old - double digits. TEN WEEKS OLD. Practically a lady!
This past week, we had our first stint at single parenting: just us girls at home. Hubby has a new project starting in New Zealand, so will be back & forth a few days at a time for the next few weeks. Last week he was gone Tues-Thurs; this week it's from Sun-Wed.
He's been back at work for several weeks now, but it's different having her full time. I didn't realise how much I enjoyed having him get home from work & take her off my hands for cuddles - that was my break time! We even have a bit of a bedtime routine down; he bathes & dresses her, while I get her pj's ready and feed her, before getting her to sleep. Doing it all on my own was harder than I imagined it would be. :)
As challenging as it is for me to get used to, I really don't mind. She's good company & I love spending time with her. And it's just as challenging for Jase - I know how much he hates being away from her, especially when she's this little. We chat on Skype in the evenings, and I send him random pictures to make him smile.
Dh is out of town for a couple of night every other week or so and when he is here, he often had a dinner or two that lasts till 10. It is so much harder with one person! I cannot imagine always being on my own!
ReplyDeleteGeorgia is sooo cute. Love that pic!
My hubs is out of town four days a week right now. It's definitely hard!
ReplyDeleteYou're doing a great job! I love the expression in her face in that photo haha
ReplyDeleteLove her expression and hair!! She is just adorable.
ReplyDeleteWhen my daughter was born, her dad worked night shifts. I seriously felt like a single parent. Hard work, but very rewarding.
ReplyDeleteYour daughter is so cute with her crazy hair and cute smile!
Love the SOM reference :) You are doing amazingly with J away- I felt that overwhelmed with a VERY supportive husband!
ReplyDelete& dont forget you are a rockstar!
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain dear! DH got a new job right before the nugget was born (in fact he turned in his notice at his old the day I went in to be induced!)and left for 2 weeks when he was 2 weeks old. He frequently has overnight trips. It's tough. But you are handling it like a rock star!!!!
ReplyDeleteI fricking LOVE this photo. You're doing a great job, mumma :)
ReplyDeleteYes it is very difficult (single mother) but I like to think that what you put in you get out. :D
ReplyDeleteMy son has his "Mr Seahorse" I am pretty sure that we are BOTH in love with it
