Jack is so active and he isn't even crawling yet. He wants my attention constantly and only takes cat naps of late. So, I have very little free time, hence the fewer posts to the journal. When I do have free time I usually spend it catching up on sleep.
Right now he is lying on the bed and any second he is going to whimper for me. It doesn't bother me at all. I love it. I love everything about him in my life. I would like a few extra hours of sleep and some more time to myself, but that will come soon enough. I relish every moment with him.
It is hard being a single mom and it is also very rewarding. There are so many facets to motherhood. I think my girlfriends that are also new single mom's are finding it hard dealing with the father's. I would reccommend to any woman in our situation, to try and leave him out of it. Deal with it later. Enjoy the time with your little person. It's such an adjustment.I realize how delusional I was expecting Jack's dad to come around after he was born. But that's just my opinion. To Jack's dad's credit, he is sending him small checks once a month, with a few toys, clothes and things stuck here and there. Yes, people have their opinions about it, but I'll let them. I know his dad better than anyone and I'll deal with it the way I think is best.
Ok I was interrupted by the little guy and we took a 2 hour nap. Ready to start again on this entry.
I really want to try and stay home with him eventually. If I can only get an online business thriving....I would have to hire someone to babysit at home, but that would be great. There is NO way I could work at home and try to watch him myself. I'm finding that out QUICK. I can hardly make these journal entries anymore.
