3rd weekend with Colin in the books

It’s our 3rd weekend home with Colin and we’re coming up on 3 weeks since his birth. Things seem to be moving incredibly fast right now. Everything is kind of blended into one.

We’re not doing a ton right now. We’re leaving the house for lunch or errands or a walk perhaps once a day. Colin sleeps for 2/3rds of the day. And spends half his waking time feeding. I am having a lot of fun bonding with him when he is awake. But there’s a ton of “downtime”.

I’m keeping myself busy by trying to get some stuff done at work here or there. It’s not ideal, but it also feels nice being productive. I was working out, but I got some tendonitis on my foot after pushing myself early last week so I’ve been on rest for the last 5 days.

Sophia and I have filled in time by mindlessly scrolling our phones and watching TV. It’s nice at some points, but it’s not my cup of tea for the long-term.

As Colin grows, we’ll be able to do more with him which I’m excited about. In the meantime, I’m just just trying to be present and enjoy the downtime while I have it.
