Since we brought Kyle home I've been so lucky to have Brian and my mom with me to help out. Brian took a week off work, and my mom took 2 weeks off. My mom brought me lunch every day and made us dinner. She would watch Kyle while we ate, then do the dishes and head home. Yesterday, the two of them spent hours cleaning our house and doing laundry so I would have nothing to worry about this week except taking care of my son. It was heaven on earth.
But today is the first day of my new life. My mom is back to work, and Brian is back to his normal schedule. It's just me and this little guy home all day, trying to figure things out on our own. It's scary, but also exciting. At this point, my days pretty much consist of feeding him, changing him, watching him sleep and doing it all over again. Eventually I'll need to start functioning outside of the house, figure out a schedule and put on makeup (ugh), but for now I'm happy just soaking him in and living in this amazing temporary world with my 2 week old baby.
