So is the life of a mother it seems, good luck!
Sounds like a wonderful blissful day! I guess that's what I have to look forward to.
Hey how's it going? I love your blog btw! Being a mother sounds rewarding but hard. I get cranky when I don't get enough sleep. I want kids but I'm so scared how much life will change. Hope you're doing well!
Why are you at a hotel? Sorry your day was filled with a crying baby. Kudos to you for getting things done (even a little) and taking naps! You're ahead of the curve, girl.
I'm great. Looking forward to sleeping through the night again someday. Hopefully before I decide to have another one.
We were at a hotel because the hubbies work was having a convention, and even though it was 20 mins from home, they still got him a hotel room and wanted him to stay in it. So we took a little mini-vacation. I got to go shopping in perhaps the 2nd biggest mall in the U.S. (Tea, we'll totally hit that when you visit.)
Sounds good to me! Don't know if we'll be visiting this year since you'll be here in December, but maybe in the spring?
