Player is a ridiculously easy baby (knock on wood). The first six weeks or so, Chaz and I wondered why people thought two kids was hard. He literally did nothing but eat and sleep. I was acutally kind of worried about him.
The next six weeks were really hard. He starting staying awake and actually needed some attention. This was also right about the time that the honeymoon with Buttercup was coming to and end. She was pinching and hitting a lot during those weeks.
I came back to work about two weeks ago and we're still trying to get into our routine there. And Chaz is getting use to staying home with both of the most days. On MWF, he has them both all day. On T and Th, Buttercup goes to preschool all day (7-4) and Player has a sitter for about three hours in the morning while Chaz has class.
I have soooooo much more respect for stay at home moms with small kids now. I wasn't home alone with them much, and still am not, but when I was...holy crap. I didn't realize simple tasks could be that difficult. And god, I felt like my brain was slowly melting out my ears during the leave. I feel like I'm supposed to feel guilty for saying this but, I'd rather work full time than stay home full time. Ideally, I'd love to work part time, but that's just not in the cards
I'm breastfeeding and its going pretty well. Just like with Buttercup, we've been supplementing with formula too, but hey, whatever.
My body is a disaster zone. I don't think my stomach will ever go down. It's still huge and flabby. I'm going to work out as soon as I finish this.
We're still hoping to move back to the 'Ham sometime next year, but the thought of trying to sell the house gives me nightmares. The bathrooms still aren't completely done yet, but at least they were all usable before Player was born.
Chaz finally talked me into buying a laptop. He is in love with it. I am too a little.
