"Just remember - everything is a phase."
On the nights when Ruby is up every three hours instead of sleeping 6 like she used too, it's helpful to remember that. On the days when she just won't fall asleep or even be calm unless she's in my arms and my arms only, it's helpful to remember that. In the brief moments when I want to be able to just run this or that errand, or sleep in, or clean the kitchen, it's also helpful to remember that.
Then, like magic, she's happy in Ben's arms again. Or in her bassinet.
Yesterday we put Ruby in her wrap and went for a walk:
and Ben asked me what I wanted to work on, what personal stuff I wanted to explore. To be honest the question threw me... but it also got me thinking. I mean, I think first and foremost I want and need to keep exploring being a mom, but I'm also looking forward to re-inventing myself professionally. Looking for new places to teach yoga (and not just Mommy & Me and prenatal) and new clients to design for. And I'd like to start cooking again. Seems silly, but that's what I want. But one thing I know I both need and want to commit to is writing. I'll start here and try to write at least 3 times a week. We'll see where it goes from there.

Thanks, Squeeker, for sharing on your blog. I have not been good about writing on mine, nor have I written anything else for anyone else. I expect that, like other things like physical stamina, either one uses or one loses....
Love you vvvvvm
Hallelujah! I love hearing that your committing to writing because you are SO good at it. I hope you'll have the time to do it, honey.
