Finding time

I'm sure every new mom can relate to the changes of finding time to get the things done you used to do easily. I've managed to find spurts of time to pick up, do some laundry, clean, make food, go for walks, try to call friends. But it is definitely a learning process and one that is taking me some time to adjust to. One of the biggest changes is that Matt is now working from home on Fridays/Mondays. That means I do not have the means to get online and check e-mail, upload picture, write on the blog, ect., like I'm used to doing daily. As we get our lives back in working order i'm sure it will get easier, but for now I definitely feel a bit discombobulated.

We had a good weekend. Took Ashlyn for some nice long walks, which was just as nice for mommy. We spent all day Sunday in Dayton visiting with family and having a big yummy dinner of homemade ribs and potatoes. I have to get out of the house as much as possible, I feel like i'm trapped on these long weekdays home alone all day.

Ashlyn's 2nd Dr. appointment went well. Her jaundice is in check, and she has up and passed her birth weight. 7 lbs 9 oz. Everything seems in check. We got back in 2 weeks for her 1 month check up. She is doing better at night, gets up every 2-3 hours but will eat and go right back to sleep. I'm tired, but not totally exhausted.

I hear a waaaa, guess that means i'm being paged!
