Well, Bard arrived home safe and sound late Friday night-really late-1am! As many of you know, he was gone all week on a business trip to Ireland. It was my first time being alone so long with the baby. Overall it went pretty well. There were only a few times that I wanted to scream, cry, or run away. She was pretty good all week, only having one bad day, Monday. But in all fairness that day sucked for me and I think she mostly picked up on my emotions. Of course, a good week for a five month old still means that I had to feed her several times a day, change her, get her dressed, put her down for her naps, carry her around, and in general be there for her 24/7. But, having gone through this I can say how much I admire all my friends who do this on a regular basis, either becaue they are single moms or because their husbands travel a lot. And most of them have more kids than I do! It also really reminds me of how lucky I am to have a husband like Bard. He is so comfortable putting her to sleep, feeding her, soothing her when she is sad, and yes ladies, he even ASKS to change her diaper. What a man! I'm so blessed that Evelyn will grow up having a father who is truly engaged in her life. I love the relationship they have now and I can't wait to see how it evolves over the coming years.
