It has been well over two months since I posted anything of substance on the site (aside from the occasional photo shot from my iPhone). The bulk of the blame can be placed squarely on the feet of my adorable little two-month, four-week-old girl. When I’ve had the spare time to post anything (which happens in small, infrequent, bursts), it’s usually going up on the Mister Mom site to document the rapid growth of our offspring. So it goes.
The past three months has been a blur, mostly, filled with sleep-deprived (and, later, not-quite-as-deprived) nights, trips to see family, trips to the doctor, trips to the store, trips to the DMV, hurried half-meals at home, lots of football games, lots of fantasy football games, lots of Pats wins, lots of Bills losses, a few Bills wins, little to no playstation — save for streaming Netflix, buying Christmas presents, buying diapers, buying new cars, neverending marathons of House or Law & Order on USA, catching up on the regular shows, catching up on dailies from work in the middle of the night, catching up on seasons of a new favorite show (Psych), not showering, sometimes showering, showering (fairly) regularly, toys, outfits, poopy diapers, wipes, beer, cold medicine, tissues, tea, lozenges, sweatpants, a big ol’ beard, and a healthy dose of… well, panic.
It’s true that everything in your life — down to the smallest detail — changes once you have a kid. What I’ve found most interesting, however, is the smaller, unexpected changes that have come about.
Computer time. To go from a decade of spending six-to-seven(ish) hours, every day, on a computer — to, what? Five, ten minutes a day? That is a big change. I still haven’t adjusted fully to it. When you’re accustomed to getting your news and information a certain way… it takes a while to find suitable alternatives. Let’s just say I suddenly can understand the need for an iPad. Even in a one-bedroom apartment, it is decidedly not easy to get across the room to that computer (and when you do have the time, you end up opting for something like, eating or showering).
Hell, right now, this post has been written one quick burst — with my little girl, sleeping, strapped to my chest in a Baby Bjorn.
All that said, I do hope to start posting regularly on the ol’ Ithacamafia site once again. There’s plenty of interesting things for me to share (not always baby related). And the rest of the baby-adventures will continue on the other site.
For now, though, I’ll leave it with this little check-in.
Someone’s starting to wake up.
