As I write, Caleb is asleep in the sling. I can type with him, but not well. I’ve tried washing dishes w/ him in the sling, and its doable, but awkward. Yesterday I was amazed to be able to fold clothes w/ him, although awkward. He likes to sit facing out, w/ his feet scrunched up, mostly because he’s nosy! He wants to look at everything. in the baby book we have it says babys that are worn(w/ a sling) develop quicker. It said it helps the baby adapt to the adult world since he gets to be a part of it as his parents go about their daily tasks. I’ve been trying to hold him in the sling as much as possible, but sometimes its hard, especially since I am still experiening that bad abdominal pain, its been a week since the ER but I am still in pain. I just hope it doesnt make our trip to Ohio to unbearable for me!
I am not looking forward to dealing with Caleb after the trip. After we moved here he was so cranky, it is an awful long trip for a baby, but there’s not much of a choice, we cant quite afford airfare right now. Oh well, at least I can look forward to moving in 2 weeks! i’ll try to stay positive amidst it all , but for me that is hard. maybe he’ll do better now that he is older. But that just means he may be fussier on the way and not sleep as much. Any ideas how to make it easier? (its about a 9 hr drive)
