Balancing act

It's hard being a father, a husband and work at the same time. I feel like I'm unable to do any off them properly but I'm trying my damndest!

Calvin is almost three weeks old and has grown not only in weight but also in character. Every day he gains more expressions and just as my exhaustion kicks in he makes a noise or does something so cute that it makes me realize how worth while this time in my life is.

While I am getting to grips with being a poop wiping, baby holding, diaper washing, house cleaning machine with a pacifier as a finger, I am still trying to work out how to support my beautiful wife -- with the baby literally sleeping between us it's a challenge. We're working hard at checking in and making sure we don't lose each other during this crazy transition.

I started work this week and my main project is kicking off at supersonic speed and I'm struggling to keep up with it. I went into the office for 5 hours on Monday & Tuesday and I spent the rest of the week working from home and coffee shops. When at home it's almost impossible not to help look after my two loved ones... ...I'm getting better and balancing it all but I'm pretty sure I need more sleep.

Successes:
Bum in the sun time, strolling in stroller in the hood, grocery shopping, more good nights sleep, continued support and improved burping!

Failures:
The fact that a good night's sleep involves getting up every 2 to 3 hours for an hour, Calvin's second bath and trying to figure out how he fits into the new sling!
