Flying Solo!

Today was my first day with Tyler all on my own. I'd had him on my own here and there when Eric would run errands but hadn't had him all day until today. And we both survived; yay!

I was very apprehensive and overwhelmed by the thought of having him all on my own for the day. With his feeding schedule and my pumping schedule, I was worried about getting everything done on time and how I'd react if he got super-fussy while I was pumping or something. Poor Eric had to deal with me worrying about this (again), but I eventually got over it and made a plan of doing one "thing" each day - either one load of laundry, vacuum one floor of the house, etc. Normally I'd be doing ALL the laundry on one day, or vacuuming the WHOLE house on one day, but with everything else that's just not possible, so the new plan is one thing at a time. I still have to figure out how to fit my meals in there, but Eric went to the store to get lots of quick-to-fix stuff so I am set there.

So the day went ok. First feeding went great - ate like a champ then snoozed. Second feeding was tougher, then the later feedings in the day went fine. Kay (MIL) came over and held the little one for a while too so that helped. :)

I decided that if (when!) I make it to Thursday, I am getting myself a pedicure since Eric will be home. :)

Eric got home and fixed dinner while I showered, and he took care of the evening feedings. And then we started all over again today.

Got the taxes done on Sunday - hooray! Next up is to pull our credit reports; I try to do that every few months and have fallen out of the habit.
