Solid Foods Yay!

Jaxon has started eating solid foods! Scott and I get such a kick out of watching him eat. So far he has had carrots, butternut squash, sweet potatoes, green beans and peas, which surprisinly his favorite. He loves his food so much that I am literally shoveling it into his mouth because I can't get it in there fast enough! He started eating solids about three weeks ago, and he was just at 17lbs, I weighed him today and he is almost 18lbs! My little tub of chub!


Balance

As we get into the swing of being a new family, one question always pops into my head. How do Mum's work, manage a home, and take care of a new baby? How do they juggle it all? I'm having a hard enough time finding a babysitter! Before I was pregnant, Scott spent hours and hours building me a gym, to us it was "perfect." As my pregnancy progressed, the sicker I became and after a few short months of Atmosphere being open we closed the doors. Now that Jaxon is here, there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about the gym. I want to get back into training but I don't know where to start, I feel like the day is barely long enough for me to do what I need to do to keep everyone going. People ask me if I'm going to have another baby, I wouldn't know what to do with two! How do you find balance, and I mean real balance, not going to work, taking care of the house, looking after babe, wanting to rip your hair out, and crashing at 7:00 balance. I mean real balance or is there such a thing? Maybe it's early days for me yet and I'll eventually figure it out. One thing is for sure though, I love this little boy of mine, and even if I never find the balance I am looking for, there is nothing better than having a happy, healthy little boy at home to snuggle with everyday!
