Ok, so I know what you're saying..."What is she doing that she doesn't have time to blog?" Well, let me tell you that having a baby is not a piece of cake and that it takes up most of your time; but I'm sure all you mothers know that already. So let me start off saying that Baby J is doing great, gaining weight, eyes and heart are fine and he is getting so big!
Back in September I had started a part time job where I was able to bring baby J with me. It was great but to travel so much and put miles on my car was not so great. When it started getting cold it became even worse because my car started acting funny and refused to start. I was not a happy mommy. So as I was out and about trying to make some money I lost track of doing some things, like this blog. I really had all intentions of keeping up with it and posting every week. I am sorry I haven't been able to keep it up as much as I wanted.
So now I have started a different job, one that lets me stay home with my baby and another baby from the area. Yep, that's right! I am babysitting! I know it's not the greatest stay-at-home-mom job, but it's something and i get to take care of Baby J instead of putting him in a daycare. The only thing that really bugs me about it is that this baby is ALWAYS CRYING. He is three months old and is very very big. Twelve month old clothing is too small for him and I am shocked that my back is still in working order. Baby J is a peanut compared to him. So about the crying... the only time that I don't hear him cry is if he is sleeping, eating or if I am walking around with him. It is very hard for me because I am a small framed person so holding this kid is very difficult for me. Not only is it hard because of that, but my little Baby J gets jealous and I sometimes make him wait to eat so I can try to calm the other baby down. I feel bad, but if I can get a few more minutes of not crying, its worth it. It is like having twins- not easy at all.
I love the fact that I get to stay home, but I hate that I have lost all my freedom. I can't go anywhere during the day and now that it is winter going out at night is not an option for me with the baby. I get the weekends now...for a little bit anyway. Hopefully spring gets here fast!

Much love,
-J
