As of 7:18 PM this evening, little Josie Kaye officially reached 1 month old. It’s been an eventful month to say the least. I can’t remember the last time I’ve had so many new and exciting experiences one after another in such a short amount of time. We’ve had our share of trying times, but it has been everything that I had hoped for, and more. I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world. It’s amazing how this tiny little package has brought us so much love and joy from the very moment that she arrived.
I realize this blog has dried up a bit in terms of content and updates; it’s been a lot harder to keep up than I had originally anticipated. The initial week when I returned to work was rough. I didn’t feel well at all and that’s really when the blog began to fall off track. I was barely getting any (good) sleep at night, and I ate at most just once a day. When I got home, all I wanted to do was to crawl into bed. The last thing that I wanted to do was sit in front of the computer, gather my thoughts, put them into words, and try to make sense of it all. It just didn’t happen.
Being at work in general has also put a damper on things because I no longer have the ability to be around and to make note of each and every little thing that happens throughout the day. I get just a few hours each night to eat dinner, shower, take care of things around the house, and spend time with Josie before it’s time for bed. That in turn has made it quite easy to put off blogging, among other things. Honestly speaking, most days I just don’t have the time, and some days, I’m just tired and laziness gets the better part of me.
A lot of people have told me how much they enjoy this blog and that they continually check back for updates. I really appreciate all the positive feedback that I’ve received. It makes all the time and effort that I’ve put into this really worth-while. In order to restore some consistency with the blog while retaining part my sanity, I’ve decided to make weekly updates (most likely on Sundays) from here on out. I had originally intended this to be a daily blog, but clearly that’s not going to work. So check back at the beginning of each week for the latest happenings and developments on our little Josie girl.
