From winter to summer
It’s been seven months since Louis came along, and I think hibernation must now come to an end. Not that I’ve been trapped in the house sleepy and hungry and brooding. It’s just taken a while to feel back to normal. I’ve read about 10 books since he was born… and finished only one of them. Pretty lame. It’s hard to focus and find time to yourself. I had these visions of reading, learning a third language and writing while nursing. However, with one hand trapped under a baby, and often trying to stay awake as he eats for two hours straight (yes), I’ve not been nearly as productive as I planned. Oh well.
We are now at the seven month mark, and life is starting to fall into a nice little routine. I get a bit of time to myself once Louis goes to bed at 9 p.m. Chris also treated me to a new Kindle as a wedding anniversary gift, so I can now read books one handed while pinned under a baby. Woo!
Eventually I’ll start doing something productive; however, tonight I’m eating cookies and watching Mad Men.

“Chris also treated me to a new Kindle as a wedding anniversary gift, so I can now read books one handed while pinned under a baby.”
I’ve highlighted this phrase and pointed it out to Alex while raising my eyebrow suggestively – I’ll have to see how my subtle hinting pays off.
ha!
I think what will help is mention being stuck under a baby and forced to watch Dr. Phil when you can’t get up to change the channel. Done and done!
