Living Life One Handed

So yeah, I'm a mom! After 5 years of infertility treatments and heartache I'm a mom to the most perfect little boy that ever lived. So perfect in fact that I can't put him down! (hence the title of the post and the one handed typing that has become habit.)

I hope to be able to post my/his birth story soon, I need more than five min and more than one hand. :) In the mean time lets just say it was long, and used alot of drugs!

So lets start where we are, my Connor-bear or CB (as I will refer to him in this blog) is a month old. It's amazing to me how fast time goes by. I would always hear other parents say this and always thought they were full of it, now I know that this is the truth.

So lets hit the stats shall we?

Eye Color: steel blue
Hair: Full head, straight and dark brown
Length: 23 in
Weight: 7.7 pounds
Milestones: Smiles, some head control, can almost roll over.
Sleep: between 2-3 hours, sleeps best in Mom or Dad's arms.
Breast Feeding: close to 3 hours, this still hurts me but I have been assured by the Lactation Consultants that he is latching on corectly. I keep waiting for the pain to go away.
Tummy Time: 10-20 min every other day... I try to do everyday but lets face it some days we just dont get there.

So thats it for now... Hope to have the Birth story up tomorrow... we will see.

Oh Time managment and other such musings....

Ok so here we go again! A list of what I want to improve about my self. Ready? Here we go... Time Management... why is this such a hard concept? The boy is 6.5 and for the most part self sufficient. So why do I feel guilty if I don't spend my every waking and honestly sleeping breath with him? Finding time to play wife, mother, photographer, travel agent, crafter, house keeper and sometimes blogger... I have joined on the Happy Planner train although in all honesty, I really just do it because it is a quick craft that makes me happy... I'm really not using it to its full potential. Self Esteem... Oh Good Lord where to start? I have only this week realized that my self confidence is low. I have to say that I have the most amazing husband who builds me up in such a wonderful way! The problem is that even though he is saying sweet words of encouragement I constantly think he if full of shit. So in addition to the Time Management I intend to work on my Self Confidence. I h...
