Be in the moment

Yesterday I let the phone ring for a couple of hours. My husband was frustrated with me as I owed my inlaws a phone call. I explained that I was nursing the baby and I wanted to be with the baby uninterrupted as I don’t think it’s a good idea to constantly be multitasking while nursing. He said something like that is a myth and that in real life you need to do more than one thing at one time. I was so happy that I have chosen not to fall into that myth. That time with my baby couldn’t be more precious and I want to get as much of it in as possible before in a blink he’s grown up.

On the cusp of giving birth to a brand new little person I think this is the most important gift I can give him. I have moved this to be my number one priority. I know the housecleaning will be hard for me not to stress about but I really want to focus on the baby, regardless of the messsy house.

I went whale watching and when the whale was swimming under the boat I took the opportunity to use the snorkel mask to examine it swimming under the water. What an opportunity of a lifetime and I was “in the moment” and for once I didn’t chicken out. I am so proud!
