A day in the life of…..

Woke up at ten to six to a crying baby. Gave her a feed in bed and got up at about 6 to change her. Then I tried to do a few things while Nina sat in her bouncer. At 6.15 Martin got up so I went back to bed for an hour. He woke me up at 7.15 with some coffee from the awesome coffee machine and toast. He left and 8.00 and then it was Nina and I. She played on her tummy for a bit, kicked on the mat with her nappy of off, put all her toys in her mouth and had a short nap. I tried to start planning some of my classes. I actually did get a little bit done but not much.

At 10.00 I drove Malley and the kids to the airport. They are off to Adelaide for a week so things will be a bit quiet around here. We then went to the pool shop, got the water tested and did some chores in town, each time getting her in and out of the car. Back in time for lunch and another short nap for Nina. Spent the afternoon bouncing Nina, feeding Nina, changing Nina while watching movies.

Martin came home about six. We cleaned the pool, bathed and massaged Nina, cooked dinner and finally managed to settle her at 8.30. We ate dinner, I quickly checked my emails, wrote this post. Now I am going to have a shower myself and go to bed.

Being new parents is exhausting.
