So, since Caleb has been born I have learned that I can do all sorts of things one handed. For example: I can eat cereal, I can brush my teeth, I can hen-peck chat messages to Aaron at work.
But there are so many things that I just can't do one handed. For example, it's really hard to get dressed, floss your teeth or write a blog posting one handed. It's also hard to do the dishes, laundry or make the bed one handed.
However, today I discovered the baby bump on my chest! Right now I am slightly leaned back in our computer chair, feet on the shelf, keyboard balanced on my knees and a baby bump sleeping on my chest. -I would take a picture if I had any more balancing talent, but I think this one tops the cake.
You see, Caleb has this very bad habit of wanting to be held. He will sleep as long as he's held, but try putting him down for a nap and all you get is 10-15 minutes to try to wash dishes and eat a cookie. Since he's basically been up since 7 am, I suppose I would rather have him sleep curled up in a ball on my chest than not at all. -He just wants to be part of whatever is going on. -At night he sleeps like a log! Thank goodness for some sanity. :)

You crack me up Cassie. It's amazing what you can do with one hand, although, like you said, there's a lot that still requires 2 hands ( : Also, a lifesaver for me has been slings/carriers/wraps for those times when the cute little bug wants held, but I've got to get something done ( :
It sounds like Caleb is doing a wonderful job of "training" you!
What a sweetie! Tell me your secret, I can't get my 9m old to sleep through the night. Enjoy holding him! Really, they grow up all to fast. Congrats again
