Weekends with the baby

It’s the weekend but it hardly feels like a weekend. Two weeks into fatherhood and it feels like every day and night is just one big blur.

Just when we thought things were starting to get into a consistent schedule, Colin decides he wants to change things up and go absolutely bonkers last evening and all night. That wasn’t fun and was probably the most frustrated I’ve been since he was born.

This early newborn period has a lot of sitting and hanging out at home. As someone who is home, I’ve always struggled with that. While it is nice and does allow us to get some rest when Colin naps, I do feel a bit cooped up at home.

I’ve got a sudden urge to want to go out and do things now. The tough part is those activities are severely limited with a newborn. You don’t have a lot of time as feedings happen every 3 hours at the latest. You also simply can’t do many activities as they can get fussy.

As time goes on, Sophia and I will need to do our best to try to maintain our lives and get out as much as possible. It’s good for Colin and our sanity.
