Life with a newborn is pretty crazy. Sometimes, this leads me to do things that I'm not particularly proud of. Some of them are funny, some of them I just hope won't scar my little Laney girl. Here are just a few:
- Sometimes when Laney first starts stirring in the morning, I try to stay asleep just long enough that Peter will get her.
- The other day I saw something that looked like some black dirt in Laney's neck folds (love the double chins). Turns out it was large crumbs from the Oreo I ate earlier..oops!
- When Laney is completely sound asleep and content, I'll risk waking her up just so I can hold my sleeping baby.
- Again, when Laney's completely sound asleep and content, I'll risk waking her up so that I can move her around and get cute sleeping pictures.
- When Laney is not at all asleep (but I wish she was), I'll put her in her bed and leave really quickly just "hoping" that she'll fall asleep. It never works. :(
- When I'm running, I'll stop to "check on the baby". Deep down, I know Laney's fine, I just don't want to come to grips with the fact that I can't run anymore. :(
- I only have one pair of jeans that fit. So yes, if you see me two days in a row, those are probably the same pants. I will cave in and buy new jeans.
- Once, someone came over and watched Laney and told me to take a few minutes to do whatever I needed to do. I went upstairs and sat on our bed for 30 minutes. I did absolutely nothing.
- During pregnancy, I snapped at Peter because he bought me Reduced Fat Oreos. In my defense have you seen the amount of stuffing in those? There's nothing there!
