It's been awhile...

I figured it was time to add to my blog since it's been so long. Well... not really that long. Only a week. Time does seem like it is flying by though. It seems as if i've been on the go non stop! Work is crazy busy as I've joined a commissioning team for the new dry storage project and somehow I seemed to have picked up all the administrative duties as well as all my usual work. It can be reallllllllly frustrating to spend most of your day trying to get something as simple as a lock change or new phone put in... and STILL not get it done! Oh well.. I've only got 1 week left to go then i'm off for 7 weeks on parental leave. I think the hardest thing about it all is the getting up at 5:30 to be at work for 7. It means I have to go to bed earlier in the evening so I don't get to spend a whole lot of time with Deb, Kathryn and my in-laws. Basically when I get home I spend most of my time with Patrick. I know Deb doesn't have much time with him and even though he has his grandparents all day, I'd like him to have at least a solid few hours with one of his parents. The big drawback with that is I don't spend much time with anyone else. He's worth it though! When I come home and he starts yelling "Da-Dee", it just makes my day no matter how bad it had been.

I am a little concerned about my bonding time with Kathryn though since i've only really spent a couple hours with her this week. Granted she does sleep most of the time i'm home and when she isn't sleeping, she's eating so that's Debs' bonding time. I guess i'm a little sad we aren't formula feeding this one too since it gives me a chance to both bond and give Deb a break. But Deb is so happy that she is able to breast feed and I don't want to take that away (Not that she would let me!!). Kathryn is now gaining weight so she must be getting the good stuff now anyways. It will just be nice when we have a bit more of an established schedule but I know from experience that no schedule will last for very long. Oh Well.

Anyways... I'm going to go make myself a cup of tea. Cheerio Peoples

There will be lots of time to bond with the little lass :)

Be happy you CAN sleep through the night, despite the fact that you choose not to, and get up with me anyway :)
