Alone with Milo
misty · Tue, Sep 8, 2015Today Mom left for Texas. It’s also Chase’s first day back at work. I’ll admit, I was a bit nervous about being home alone with Milo for the first time. I was also a bit sad to see Mom go. It wasn’t the best planning, but so it goes.
Milo and I did fine today. She mostly slept, and mostly slept on or near me. This is the challenge with a newborn, I guess. Mom warns me against holding her too much because then she’ll want to be held all the time; but the baby books I’ve read say that you can’t spoil a baby under 3 months. I’m not sure what’s right. When she wasn’t sleeping, she was a bit of a handful - lots of fussing and restlessness. But, we made it through the day.
I should also mention that San Francisco is having a heat wave right now. It’s not hot by Texas standards, but for SF it’s broiling. It’s getting into the 80s every day, which means it feels like 90s. This would be fine except that we live on the top floor in a very sunny apartment with no air conditioning. Lots of sweating these days. Milo’s a good sport. She sleeps on me and and we both sweat, and she seems just fine with it. Babies.
