So here I am, single parenting, alone again for the next few months.
Ahron left early on Saturday morning. Lainie cried on the short drive home, although I think it was the result of just being really tired. Miles seemed to accept it more, they are so much like us sometimes!
The weekend was gray and drizzly and rainy and none of us felt much like doing anything but just puttering around, trying to pretend like Daddy is away for a short time.
My days are very, very long now and I anticipate them being that way as long as Eloise is a high-needs baby. She is unfortunately going through a phase where she doesn't want to be around anyone but me and that's making it difficult to do simple things like take a shower, or get chores done around the house. I've told a few people this but sometimes I miss my old life, and I feel like I've taken a huge step back in having a baby. The spacing wasn't ideal between Miles and Eloise. And she was a surprise so it wasn't intentional.
But it is what it is and it will get better. I'm choosing to look at the glass half full! She's stinking adorable and Miles and Lainie just adore her, it's so fun to see them interacting with her. Well, onward and upward to Day 4.
