I am not complaining, but life has really gotten into a rythm. Everything seems pretty predictable right now as we near Calan's first birthday. He is sleeping like a champ, eating like a champ, and Bob and I are enjoying every moment.
Our day starts with Calan making a little noise at 6:30 a.m., but we get out of bed around 6:50. I go and get my smiling little boy who is usually holding on to his blanket standing up waiting for me. He drops his blanket and he and I go cuddle on the couch while he drinks his bottle. He then plays for a little bit while Bob is in the shower and I make breakfast. We all then sit down for breakfast together around 7:40 a.m. Bob then leaves for work, Calan goes and plays in his pack and play, and I clean up from breakfast. At about 8:30, I go and get Calan and change him into clothes for the day, read him a story, and put him down for his morning nap at 9.
Yep, that is our morning, every morning. And I love it.
The rest of the afternoon is just as predictable, but varies with activities and what errands I need to run.
But I can't help but wonder as we have settled so much into a consistent routine how it is all going to change in about 6 weeks. Will we still be able to have breakfast together and enjoy that time together? What time will we be getting up in the morning and will I feel like a slept at all the night before? I know that there will be a new normal and I know that these are all natural concerns, but I can't help but wonder what our new life will be like.
