Alright. I admit that with a new baby around the house I have not only mastered the art of putting a quick meal together in 30 seconds or less and showering in 30 seconds or less, I have also learned how to eat an entire meal (drink included) in 30 seconds or less. Well maybe 60 seconds. I was able to master these very important skills thanks to my son, who mastered the skill of fussing for a diaper change, food or attention the second I tried to do something for myself. He didn't mind if I had to skip meals or did not manage to shower for 2 days.
Even now that Dominic is almost 4 months old, and I don't have to rush through everything because he stays content for longer and sleeps for longer, I still find myself inhaling my food. Which everyone likes to point out to me and get a good laugh in. I can get my food last from the whole family, and still finish in record timing and beat everyone else. Don't judge me that I can't shake the habits of a mother with a newborn! Dominic still has his days that he decides I shouldn't be able to shower or eat so these skills still come in handy so I'm not quite ready to get rid of them just yet.
Being a new Mom is an on-going adventure.. one that I often laugh about... but sometimes cry too!
