Event Planning with a Baby
This weekend I was on charge of a rather large event. It involved quite a bit of planning and quite a bit of work as the day got closer.
Last year I did a similar event and worked like crazy. I remember coming home tired to the bone and crashing. It was the next day we found out I was pregnant.
This year I recognized that I would not be able to keep up the same pace in preparation. For some reason having a 4-month-old really makes things happen at a different pace. And overall, I was successful in both the mothering of the day and the event itself. I took things an hour at a time, worked while he slept, got help for when he was awake, etc.
The only rough part for kiddo was going to sleep in a strange place (his stroller in a dark room) and having to wake up to come home.
Oh well, you can't win them all. But I won most of it!

I love the idea of this blog (hers in pink, his in blue and you both ACTUALLY POST!)
What a busy family you have! You are amazing to keep so involved.
Before I had kids, I remember taking care of my sisters five kids for a week. I was totally overwhelmed and exhausted all week and physically dead by 5pm. By the time I went home I was so depressed because I thought I'd never be able to manage kids of my own after how tired I'd been. The next day I found out I was pregnant and I felt much better about the fatigue!
Thanks, Sarah for the comment.
If you want to know about the trickery that we use to get different background colors, let me know. It's a pretty neat trick, I have to say... :)
