Mr. Mom for a day (or 3)

So thus starts the adventures of being a daddy and having to do everything for a baby all day. YIKES!!! Abi went back to work on Saturday, after having just under 2 months off, so I was left to fend for myself taking care of Hadley. While childcare is not my specialty, I am able to to do it when necessary. We (yes, both of us) survived all three days of mommy working 12 hour shifts, and in about an hour and a half, my Mr. mom duties are over for a while. I prefer it like that.
While most of the time was uneventful, and passed with not much excitement, there were a few things that were fun(ny). Saturday night, just before the new year started, at about 11:45, Hadley decided to do some confetti while mommy was changing her diaper, and projectile pooped all over. Guess she just wanted to welcome in the new year with some excitement. :-P
Every day about lunch time Hadley and I would go visit Abi at work, which is at the hospital for those who don't know our personal lives all that well. On the second day as I was walking in and seeing the same receptionists and security guards, I was thinking, "I bet these people are thinking, 'That poor man having to raise that child alone while his wife is in the hospital.'" Interesting to wonder if people recognize you after just seeing you once.
January 1st was Hadley's 2 month...ummm...birthday...? so that was a notable day in her life thus far. We'll know tomorrow how big she is and everything after she goes in for her two month check-up and shots.
Hadley got to ride in my pickup truck for the first time on Saturday. When we went to visit Abi, I had to install the second car seat base in my truck so she could ride in there.
So there you have it...3 days in the life a daddy and a baby. Slightly less exciting than some may need to peak their interest, but real life stuff none the less. Have a good one, and I'll try to post more frequently.
