I cannot believe it has been 4 weeks since Corbin was born!! Just like everyone said it would, the time really is flying by and I can’t imagine our lives without him. I have to admit, though, I am still getting used to the slow, quiet days. I am the type of person who is always on the go and whenever I had free time, I always filled it doing something productive. This is one of my greatest strengths, but also my biggest weakness. I do not know how to relax, I struggle with prioritizing “fun” over other things I thought needed to get done, and I thrive on the high I get from a completed to-do list. Yes I know – TOTALLY LAME!!
Having a baby is definitely teaching me how to slow down, savor each and every moment, and re-evaluate what I think is most important. It has not been easy, though! Being off work makes me feel like I need to be super woman when it comes to cooking, cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping, etc. on top of taking care of Corbin. The other day I tried 3 different times to make it to the grocery store, and I swear Corbin knew every time what I was up to and decided he would scream his head off until we went back home. I got so frustrated, but as soon as I got home and he snuggled up to me and instantly got quiet, my frustration melted and I decided that nothing was more important that day than just holding my baby while he slept. It has been hard being “ok” with the fact that I did nothing but hang out with my baby certain days, but I am so thankful that I have this precious time to spend with him.
It really is hard to stay frustrated with this sweet face for more than a few seconds
