I Just Want to Make My Baby Happy

Having a baby means everything else comes second in your life. This past week, I even told my boss that no matter what, Baby K will always come first. The reason why I stated that is because in the first year a baby has a lot of doctor's appointments, ailments, and just other things that might prevent me from going into work. Luckily he totally understands but I just can't be the worker that I used to be. I used to work late all the time, and now as soon as the time comes for the work day to end, I rush off to pick my baby up. It seems like the evening hours are way too short and so I'm always in a hurry! The life of a working mom!

So by the weekend when I get to be with my baby 24/7, I tend to spoil him. Before I had him, I was this logical woman who read the books and understood the advice on what mothers should do with a baby. It all goes completely out the window when you finally have one of your own. In my Dr.'s waiting room this past week, I read in a baby magazine, that a child's cry is like a ticking time bomb to a mother's heart. How true is that! When I used to hear other baby's cry before, I would either get annoyed or be able to just drown it out. Now, the littlest peep that comes out of baby K's mouth, I'm instantly on high alert. Another mom was trying to soothe her baby when I went to pick baby K up at his childcare the other night and I told her, "I used to think it was really annoying to hear baby's whining but now that I have baby K, I actually think it's adorable sometimes." She understood and said, "It's just their way of communicating because they can't talk yet." Btw, her baby is totally cute with big chubby cheeks. When I go visit baby K during my lunch breaks and he's asleep, I pick this little guy up and comfort him when the other's have their hands full. Baby K has definitely brought out another side of me.

So back to my weekend, a lot of things gets pushed to the side when it's just me and him. His sad face and arms outstretched makes me drop everything just so that I can put a smile on his little face again. I barely even remember the life I had before he came along. Everything revolves around him. However, the time that I do have to get things done, it is used a lot more efficiently. I used to spend whole Sunday's doing nothing but watch movies and eat. I was pretty lazy! Haha! Now, I spend my free time doing a lot more writing and planning. I'm trying to reach the goals I have in mind for the year! I even had time today to write a longer post for this blog. Wow! I hope spring comes sooner this year. I don't know about anyone else but I think I'm just over winter. :) Ciao everyone!
