Home Alone With Ashley 1 - Part 1

This is the first week Daddy's traveling and the first week Mommy's home alone with Ashley. Having the nanny staying home during the weekdays definitely provides great help. Most of the week, Mommy was busy fighting with the flu but luckily near the weekend, the flu was 70% gone and Mommy was able to handle Ashley alone.

Home alone with Ashley wasn't as bad as Mommy thought it would be, but it is just so busy, non-stop, no breaks sort of days. It starts with Ashley wakes up, change her diaper, feed her, pump, wash bottles, play with her, feed her some solid food, change her diaper again and put her to sleep. Then finally Mommy gets some time to eat, and then the whole cycle starts all over again. At the end of the day, Mommy is still in her pajamas and didn't get to brush her teeth until the end of the night (I know, disgusting!!) Fortunately, Ashley is such good, calm and sweet baby except she refuses to drink any milk right before she goes to sleep. However, she's been cooperating with Mommy by going to sleep around 10PM and waking up at 8AM these couple of days. Can't imagine how difficult it would be if Ashley is a fuzzy baby. Regardless, Mommy definitely has great respect for the single parents out there!
