Two weeks ago I attempted to do some xmas shopping and I was just pathetic. I didn’t even get half the items that I went out to get. I either wasn’t in the mood or I just suck at shopping. Most likely a little of both…Ba-hum-bug!
I told Aya that she has to go out to malls to finish up our xmas shopping so Aya started pumping and luckily JT has started to take the bottle. Now I can at least help out with some feedings. Saturday it was just me and JT at home while Aya went shopping.
I know my limits. I know what I am good at and what I am not good at. Let me tell you, I am not good at being at home with the boy. Aya is actually really good at it. I thought she would coddle the boy and hold him a lot but Aya is more like, ‘eh, he is fine. Let him cry.’ Surprisingly I am more like, ‘Are you sure he is okay? I think he is sick.’
For the most part the boy still just eats, poops and sleeps. It doesn’t really seem that difficult. I wish it was as easy as it sounds. JT gets a little fussy, likes to be held…thus making it hard to do stuff with one hand. We ended up watching the Duke v Texas, UCLA v Nevada games….you know...guy stuff and he had me tuckered out by the end of the day. He doesn't really watch the t.v. but I have to hold him or walk with him while I watch the tv.
I still want to be a stay at home dad but now I am thinking it just isn’t as easy I thought it was going to be.

yes, aya is doing a great job. way better than me and way better than i expected.
lets not go overboard though. i can still ride a bike better than her.
Miles,
You think its hard now? You ain't seen hard, but its coming! Men don't have the maternal instinct that women have. That's why most men suck at being a staying at home dad!

umm, didn't you read in "the club" manual, that seriously pregnant ladies and new mommies are exempt from christmas stress? that includes gift buying, busy parking lots, giftwrapping, entertaining guests, etc. buy online or do giftcards this year!!! Jenni :)
by the way - that christmas card is seriously the best photo the 2 of you guys have taken...
oh wait...i actually didn't even notice you guys because JT looked so cute! that's an awesome photo of him! his eyes are open & he's smiling!
jenni-
yup, we only went shopping a few times so people are going to get crummy gifts this year!

the hardest part about watching the kid at night is after coming home from drinking.
i just want to rest and go to sleep and he just wants to cry.
