I can tell you in relative terms
what we have been doing a lot of in the past seven months. Since I think mostly
in fragments lately, I give you a poorly punctuated list.
·
Eating
o
Adults – primarily
frozen meals - prepared by Dad while Mom nurses a fussy baby - accompanied with a lot of wine if it’s past
5:00 (4:30 some days if I’m being honest)
o
Toddler – primarily
macaroni & cheese with some type of frozen vegetable coupled with the
occasional PB&J, and a lot of popsicles
o
Baby – breast milk,
formula, rice cereal, pureed vegetables
& fruit, sometimes all at once, ad infinitum, rinse & repeat
& fruit, sometimes all at once, ad infinitum, rinse & repeat
·
Television watching
o
Adults – mostly
DVR’ed shows that we can’t watch while the Toddler is awake
o
Toddler – has
(unfortunately) become all too familiar with the daily viewing schedules of
Disney Jr, Nick Jr, and Sprout
o
Baby – is entirely
too busy watching the Toddler watching television to notice there is a
television in the room
·
Sleeping
o
Adults – Have once
again begun accustomed to being woken up (almost) nightly by one of the
following:
§
Toddler – had a
massive sleep regression when the following came along:
·
Baby – if we’d all
just stay asleep would probably be just fine
o
Dogs – roam the
house like Highlander trying to find a quiet spot, but never neglect to rattle
their loud collars/tags while doing so...thanks guys
·
Conclusion
o
Have the last seven
months been wonderful?
§
Yes, most
definitely.
o
Would I want to
relive them?
§
Hell no.
§
Are you kidding?
o
Are we finished
having babies?
§
Hell yes.
§
Again, are you
kidding?
o
Do I feel incredibly
blessed?
§
Beyond belief.
o
Do I think I’ll blog
again in 2013?
§
Jury’s out.
