So I had a baby….. almost 6 months ago. I just want to confirm that not much gets done when you have a baby. Okay, let me clarify. Not much gets done except for feeding the baby, taking care of the baby, playing with the baby, and loving the baby. You know… taking care of another human being. In my spare time now I’m generally running around the house like a mad woman trying to pick stuff up, throw in a load of laundry, or cook some sort of meal. I’m not complaining though. Really! But it’s true what they say, that your life really changes after the baby comes. And it’s really hard to comprehend until it actually happens! Before Baby G arrived I really worried that I wouldn’t have the patience to take care of someone else. I really enjoyed my free time. But honestly, giving up most of my free time has been easy. Totally worth it 🙂
I do occasionally find some time for a little project. That painting I planned for the nursery? It’s still a blank canvas. I might finish before Baby G is 18. But smaller projects happen here and there.
One of the first projects I did after Baby G’s birth was create a memory box with all of his birth items. I got the idea from Pinterest. I obviously wanted to hold on to all of these things, so why not display them? I started by ordering a shadow box off of Amazon. (So much easier than taking a 2-month old to the store.)
