I saw one of those inspiration blogs that said to write about something that satisfies you.
Ok
Tonight, I feel satisfied in the social department. We got to go out without the baby and socialize with fellow business owners on the island. It was a Chamber of Commerce Business Card Exchange – basically the happy hour of networking events that they host monthly. I haven't been to one since the baby was born. It's crazy to realize how many people haven't even seen me since I was pregnant. WB is almost 9 months old!!!
It was super satisfying to have adult conversations. Also to brag about my beautiful baby girl over and over again. 🙄😍😊
In other satisfying news of the evening, our babysitter rocks. Not only was she eager to stay for an extra hour while we grabbed some dinner but she was also able to put the baby to sleep! Without a bath, pajamas or being nursed!!!
I feel like I'm in the twilight zone at the moment….is everything going to be alright? (yes) Will she be starving and confused when she wakes up? (probably, but that's ok) Does this mean that we didn't have to play the cry it out game tonight? (Yes!!!) We should probably teach the babysitter the bedtime routine….obviously she is capable!
It is so satisfying to realize that she will fall asleep for the night with someone else is here besides us or her grandparents. She's a good little girl. It feels good to know I can be away and she's happy and well taken care of. Socializing feels even more satisfying when you know things are good at home. Aaaaaahhhhhh….that's the sound of a satisfied mama.
