Dad Heads To Work

After getting a little better night sleep, Michael decided to go into work today. We both knew it was going to be hard for him to get back into some kind out routine with sleep and work. I tried to keep Emma downstairs and as quite as possible so he could get as much rest as possible. Surprisingly, Michael was up and ready to go to work earlier than he is normally used to.

Throughout the day, Michael called a couple times to check up on us to make sure both of us were doing okay. It was good that Michael went back to work to catch up on things there, but at the same time I wish he would have spent more time with us at home. This is a very important part of our lives as we are just beginning our family, and at times I feel like I can’t do it all on my own.

Today Emma and I didn’t do too much; we just laid around and watched tv the majority of the day. There are things I wanted to do around the house, but I am so tired or distracted holding my little lady that I can’t do anything. When Michael got home from work, he came right up to Emma and picked her up. She had put on a pouty face, but then once she realized who it was she was all happy.

Michael’s friend, Jake, came over to pick up his poker chips, but I think he really wanted to see Emma. He told Michael congratulations and patted my head since I was holding Emma. He made the comment about “some people say their baby is cute, but really they aren’t; well we actually have a cute baby”. Everyone is saying that Emma is such a cute baby; what can I say, I guess she takes after her mommy :)


Waiting for daddy to come home.
