Ha. File this under confessions of a new mom 😉 When your baby is sleeping…
– You thank the Lord for blackout curtains
– Time moves VERY quickly
– You shower (with the monitor propped up on the bathroom counter) FINALLY
– You try to call a friend to catch up only to hear the cries of baby awakening… by the second ring 🙂
– You try to put away some of the toys as it looks like the house vomited baby gear, shaking your head knowing when baby awakes it’ll be futile
– You try to get in a treadmill run while watching the monitor hoping you can get in that last mile
– You browse “Pinterest” or similar sites for dinner recipes then decide on something WAY similar (helloooo crockpot!)
– You zoom in on the video monitor to “make sure he is still breathing” (come on, you know you do it!)
– You try to eat sloooooowly because finally you do not need to shove food down…but fail
– You surf the internet, because what is a better use of time?
– You shush the dogs (and curse them) when OF COURSE the mailman comes
– You try to catch up on emails on your phone and end up doing something completely unproductive (ahem Facebook)
– You put the house phone on silent because of course a telemarketer rears its head just as baby is falling asleep
– You find yourself watching TLC’s A Baby Story…seriously
– You sit down because you are exhausted, only to pop up a minute later when a reminder of dirty dishes in the sink pops into your wandering mind
– You tiptoe around when you know baby is transitioning
– You try to talk to your partner about anything other than the baby…and fail 😉
– You miss your baby 😉
Sweet dreams!
What do YOU do while your baby is sleeping?!
