We are already on to week 2 as a SAHM. Today went pretty well. Colin and I are both adjusting. Squiggle is still depressed, but I think he is also happy that he isn't home alone all day.
Today was a simple day. We didn't drive anywhere and we just kinda hung out and did stuff around the house. I actually took a nap at the same time as the Little Man, which worked out well for me. Although, he did wake me up by crying rather loudly. Makes me sad because I was only about 10 feet away from him.
Our big outing for the day turned out to be a walk to the mailbox by the grocery store. The mail carriers comes by our house pretty early (before 10am) and I miss putting things out quite often. Today, I needed for Matt to sign some papers for Colin's 529 and he did that when he came home for lunch (yay!). So, after our post-lunch nap, the three of us got together and walked down the street. I have to say that walking a baby stroller and an excited pug is no easy task. The stroller is large enough that I cannot see the dog if he walks in front of it and of course that is where he wants to be. I'm not sure how many times I bumped his butt with the wheels. Ah, well...we all made it to the mailbox and home without any real damage. Little Man probably doesn't remember any of it because he napped the whole time.
I did find that Little Man only poops when Daddy goes to work. Daddy didn't work yesterday and there were no poopy diapers. Today, we had many. So many that Little Man's butt is looking a little raw. Poor guy...I don't know what to do for him. We keep telling him to slow down on the pooping (at least when Mommy is the only one home), but he isn't listening.
Overall, we are improving and starting to have a good time together. Little Man is getting close to smiling, so we play a lot and I try to get a smile out of him. Nana will be here in a couple of days, so those days are going to be lots of fun!
