her own rhythm

we had it made in our home. our schedule was beautiful, and we had it down. we worked, we had meetings, we played on our days off, we had a great bedtime for jaden and ourselves....


and it is over.

completely over.

she cries alot. at night mostly.

she eats constantly.

i don't know what day it is...i don't know what i should be doing each day...

i'm completely lost.

and i couldn't be happier. she has shaken my life.

got it out of it's rut.

she has imposed her schedule on our lives and she dominates (for now).

i should resent her. who is this woman entering my home and life, capturing my husband's heart, stealing my child's attention, taking up all my time?

her name is parker elizabeth price. she is 1 week and 2 days old.

she is little and squishy and looks a little bit like a spider monkey.

she is also the most beautiful creature i have ever seen.

You were supposed to be sleeping instead of writing this post. Hopefully, everyone reading will cast some shame in your direction.

Love,

That schedule needed a shake up. So glad to see her beautiful face.. even more glad to see you are thriving with this newborn thing, again.

Much Love.

oh how I know the shake-up. So excited to meet your little spider-monkey.
And the crying at night and constant eating sounds really familiar too... what is it with girls? :)
