midweek confessions: infant edition



i'm linking up with e myself and i for some midweek confessions

- fly boy and i have started referring to charley's pacifier as "the plug."  i have no intentions of calling it anything else.

- i give charley the plug everytime she fusses before i actually pick her up in hopes that she will magically calm down.  it works approximately 13% of the time, but i am a die-hard optimistic.

- while fly boy is out of town for some training for 8 weeks, every morning when i hear sweet charley screaming to let me know she has woken up, i sometimes usually roll over and pray that she goes back to sleep for a few more minutes.  it has yet to work, but again, i'm optimistic.

- i count taking charley's two month pictures (coming soon) and folding laundry together as "quality girl time."



- when the plug, rocking, swaying, the swing, the bouncer and the ergo would not sooth charley, i opted for the guaranteed-stop-all-crying car ride today.  i was meeting my brother for lunch, but left an extra 15 minutes early to drive around and make sure that she fell asleep before arrive at the restaurant.

- i have fallen in love with a new blog, and got some GREAT ideas for my future sister-in-law's wedding shower this summer.  for the first time in my life i am ahead of the game in planning!  it.feels.great.  but...i'm pretty sure i will go back to my old ways of procrastination soon.

- i'm trying to finish this post with a screaming baby on my lap...bouncing her with one hand and typing with the other.

i think its pretty obvious i have a new baby...

  1. Oh your life sounds all too familiar! We are nine months in and the "plug" is still working like a charm. Do you have a wubbanub yet? If not, you need to look it up on Amazon stat! :) Hope you are doing well... Charley is precious and you sound like a perfect momma.
