What to write about now….
June 7, 2007 3:06 pmSo, now that we are home, I think the last thing I want to write about is Tatum’s sleeping and eating schedules, although that is all my days seem to be with her home now. I’m thankful for the crisis to be over in the NICU; I’m so much more relaxed at home and Tatum has adjusted very well. Chris has gone back to work, and I do miss him terribly during the day. I had gotten used to having him around all day with me, and now that he’s gone, it makes me sad (but don’t worry people, its not the postpartum depressive sadness).
My older brother comes to visit this weekend, and then he will fly home Sunday…taking my mom with him. My mom who has spent most of her days making sure we have clean clothes, a clean house, FOOD (cooked food, mind you, something we never have), time for a nap, feeding the dog, the list could go on. And come Monday morning, I am solo in this gig. For the first time. What do I do when I have to use the rest room? I can’t just pee only when she’s sleeping. Right? What about if I need to walk to the other room for a quick second, do I take her completely out of the papasan chair and carry her, or trust my dog with her that she’ll be ok (with a little extra wet kisses on her head)? Seriously.

it will all come naturally to you! I love you soo much! I’m happy beyond words for you! Learn all you can so you can bestow your knowledge on me one day.
Thanks for the update… I’ve been thinking about you. You’ll adjust in your solo gig.
Summer, God will guide your hands with Tatum. He’ll give you an instinct on whether to leave her on a chair near your dog while you step out of the room for a minute, or to carry her out of the room with you. Soon enough, it’ll all come naturally to you, and you won’t have to think as much about what to do next with your baby.
Hey i know how your feeling. Being a first time mom your not to sure what to do. You feel unsure about leaving her by herself…even to take a shower. But one thing i will tell you what help me. I got a swing. You may think she tiny for it BUT get one of those cushions that help with her head and it will help. My daughter loves her swing and i’m able to do things around the house. It also helps them with Colic. The motion of the swing helps. If you put her in the swing early she will get use to it. It will be a big HELP!! But whatever helps you. Its just an idea!! Anything else just let me know!!! I also have tips about colic!! Just let me know!!!
