I surveyed friends prior to Hattie’s arrival about what items you really need when a baby is born (most of those magazine lists are pure marketing ploys, btw), and one of the biggest purchases that everyone recommended was something I heavily contested: Buying a glider. It was in anticipation of these long nights that I expected that I would need a chair of some kind, some place to make myself comfortable at 3am.
It’s a transition that I expected to be painful, not because I felt an overwhelming emotional need to have her sleeping directly beside me, but because she isn’t sleeping straight through the night at only 3-months old. I’ve been taking concerted efforts to choose a spot that helps to represent what area of the house we’ve been improving. Saturday’s photo definitely required a fireplace shot (I also took a photo in this same position a few weeks ago so we could compare the dramatic B&A when we look back through these family photos someday):Įarlier this month, we transitioned Hattie from the cradle beside our bed to her own crib. We’re 15 weeks strong on our mission to take a weekly photo with this new girl. I got into the rhythm of blogging as a way of journaling our home activities in both DIY and lifestyle categories, and I know I’m going to notice the gaps when I look back in the future. I’m already regretful for posting less since the baby has been born I have almost no record of what we’ve been doing. You can find me writing for HGTV and DIY Network, follow me on facebook and instagram, or drop me a note if you'd like. I'm a home improvement enthusiast, living a very merry DIY lifestyle.
