Nate left for Rio yesterday afternoon and left me to fend the house and Belle on my own. He had some work to do, tie up loose ends with the paperwork, pay more doctors and pick up Belle's Nana and Papaw from the airport so it was necessary that he leave us.
At first fear kicked in but then I realized that life won't end! The past day and a half flew by and nothing really changed other than me missing him like crazy. Even though it's not that bad I still do not envy single parents with a newborn.
Today a friend of mine came over for the day and held Belle while I finally unpacked from our long stay in Rio, made lunch, finished laundry, organized Belle's outfits and took a breath. Granted, my mom spent a week here with me but I spent all my extra time catching up on sleep. Now that Belle has a few weeks under her belt she sleeps amazing at night, 4hr stretches, and I feel rested after a night's sleep.
Everything is now ready for our visitors and I won't feel stressed to get things done! After lunch tomorrow the house will be filled with family, love and laughter. Pictures and adventures to come as we travel with Belle to Buzios and take a boat tour of some islands.... so excited!! Maybe I can dress her in one of her 10 bathing suits.... (don't worry, no sun for her at all!!)
Tchau,
Sara
