Well, the guys could be a litle more selfless sometimes, but babies kind of need to be glued to their mothers for a while. <br /><br />But pretty soon you'll be able to slowly separate yourself from Aife a little and take back some of your brain and time for yourself. <br /><br />As always, I desperately wish I lived nearby so I could look after the munchkin and let you have Kaylee-time. I really think you should consider New York. The rents are plummeting right now, event planner and florists still rake it in, hedge fund analysts are obsessed with bike racing so high-end bike shops also rake it in, the design schools are top of the line, and aunt Katie will watch Aife 20 hours a week. Deal?<br /><br />Also: I just saw the vid that Caitlin posted of Aife--she's so grown up! Pretty soon she'll be going to the fridge and pouring herself a glass of milk instead of grabbing your boob.Katienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2427577818277748162.post-22761356982482909932009-06-19T23:57:33.229-06:002009-06-19T23:57:33.229-06:00Hey - men do take care of themselves in that way. ...Hey - men do take care of themselves in that way. It is probably something I should try to learn from my husband, except then it would mean no one was tracking household shit and schedules and whatnot . . . hmmm, oh yeah, it will get better - I always tell you that! And it does, somehow. I have just started sleeping six hours consecutively, with my now ten month old baby cooperating, at last. It is getting better. And working will help you, even if it can be sucky, because you are out being you instead of an extension of the wee one. I like the jungle kitty!GingerBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09976594257345428901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2427577818277748162.post-75750474540651132692009-06-19T12:16:37.350-06:002009-06-19T12:16:37.350-06:00I think that this is the sort of thing, the sort o...I think that this is the sort of thing, the sort of balance, that comes with time.

You now a newer better extension of you. Believe me. I know.
