Me Time

I am writing this post to actually give my husband some credit for once, rather than hacking on him like I usually do. If you only read about him in this blog rather than know him personally, I can see how you would think that he is a moron. He really is a great guy.

Lately, I have been overwhelmed with the demands of the little dude. He is getting busy, and the whole sleeping/teething thing is enough to make me crazy! I have been giving it my best, and I know it will get better.

Hudson has recently started on solids, (plain 'ol rice cereal was turning into a constant gag-fest) ... Thanks to my sister who gave him a taste of Finley's soup and he would not stop MMMMM'ing so I caved just before the 6 month rule. He LOVES food, and is taking formula when Andy gives him a bottle. It has been about a week now, and it's going well. Andy has been taking Hudson with him for little outings, whether it just be a drive or off to a buddy's-- but I get a break. Finally! I think that things are getting easier now that food is leaving Hudson longer between feeds, and knowing that formula is in the diaper bag if he's in a bind. I think it makes Dad feel pretty proud to be able so stuff without Hudson being attached to the boob, and then they have some quality time together without me. Just yesterday they were together long enough for me to do some nails and get my planters done. Andy even helped cook dinner!

Maybe the freakout from the other night was an eye opener for him. Whatever the case, thanks for coming around ....it's good to have the help.

  2. WE SHOULD PLAN A GETAWAY!!! It would be great! They could handle a weekend couldn't they!?!?

    Sometime before we have to go back to work, and enough notice to plan ahead to save up our big bucks from mat leave. We could tell a couple other girls about it too...
