rollover

so the baby rolled from his front to his back or actually from back to front to back again. I discounted it the first time i saw it thinking it was a fluke a couple of weeks ago. but tonight he rolled over twice. pretty soon he will be rolling off the bed and the sofa. he might roll into our faux fireplace since his playmat is near there. danger will be lurking in every corner.

tonight the hubby is meeting up with friends, and i am alone with baby. times like these, i think about what if i was a single parent? how do those moms or dads do it alone? if i wasn't blessed to be able to work from home, i would definitely need daycare or a nanny. money would be tight on 1 income so i'd probably be living with my parents or at least closer to them. i think i'd be a walking zombie - late night feedings, entertaining baby, house chores, working, etc. i mean sometimes i feel really tired and i do have a hubby helping out. so i give single parents a lot of credit.

although, i must say that sometimes having a hubby is like having a 2nd child. hubby, if you read this, please don't take offense - you did admit this once yourself. they need as much attention as the baby and you can't forget to tend to both. my relationship was pretty fast paced so we didn't have much of a "honeymoon" period to enjoy each other's company solo without pregnancy or without baby. and i don't know if it's harder to adjust to or easier since it was such a whirlwind. but those baby books do mention that sometimes hubbies will get jealous of baby. i don't think that's the case here, but having a baby does change the dynamics of a relationship and you have to work at it to keep the equilibrium, which has been a total learning process.
