Day 7- One week done

Seven days down, 24 days left. It is what it is, I guess. I've been trying not to wish away life lately, you know, like wish it was next week already. I am trying to "live in the moment" more. I hate to say it, but I wish that I was 24 days down, 7 left to go. I know I'll get there, it just seems so far from now. The funny thing is if I was able to do my normal daily activities now this time would fly by, so maybe I just have to get into that frame of mind. Easier said than done, though.

E cracks me up. Today, instead of napping, she played in her crib for an hour. I guess I can be thankful she didn't scream the entire time. She kept herself so entertained that she pulled the animals off of her mobile. When I went in to get her, I looked down at the poor lion on the floor, then looked at her giving me a huge grin. How do you not laugh?

Tomorrow I get to enjoy a visit with friends and babies. It's so good for E to be around other kids, she absolutely loves it. And it's good for me and other moms to get together and keep our sanity! I'm getting past the "sure you can come over, but please excuse the state of my house" feeling. People who come over aren't here to judge the fact that my tables aren't dusted and my floors aren't swept. And those who would judge haven't even bothered to make an appearance, so it doesn't matter.

Here is my list for today:

1) E is getting such a personality and sense of humor. I love it (I know, I'll eat these words later)

2) Hubby had the first half of his CPR class, which includes infant CPR. Then he will teach me.

3) So far, E's new "meal plan", which includes more solids, is going fairly well.

4) Looking forward to a weekend of getting out of the house, even if that means I have to wheel myself somewhere!

5) I think E's medicine is starting to work.

Onward and upward, as they say. Tomorrow is a new day.
