Figuring It Out

This past weekend our little family was out every night together with friends and family. I must brag a little and let you all know that we were NOT late all weekend. This should impress most of you who know me :) We are finally getting this all figured out - getting ourselves ready, the baby and pack all the things we need before leaving the house.

While we were out, Ali J always seemed to wake up hungry when it was time to eat. On Saturday, while I sat in the bedroom nursing her and listening to the adult conversation happening in the other room - I realized that this will be my life ongoing. Pressing the pause button on a regular basis in order to dedicate my time and attention to this new person who needs me. By the time I had returned, my plate was filled while others were finishing - but you know, it was really encouraging to see my old self and the new one melding into one. I ate my dinner happily while my child slept (with a full belly and clean diaper - thanks to Tyler) in the arms of some wonderful friends and family.
