on our own

jeremy flew back down to richmond today to wrap things up at the richmond house - the project that little quentin so dramatically interrupted last time! he'll be back on thursday and hopefully we won't need to go back! taking care of a newborn by yourself is tough! i had to do the 6 a.m. feeding entirely on my own since jeremy was already gone and my mom was back in bed after bringing jer to the airport so early this morning. by the time i finished changing his diaper, changing his onesie, attempting to nurse, pumping, feeding, burping, washing the pump parts, washing the bottle, and changing his diaper again it was almost time to start the whole routine over again. so much easier with two sets of hands!! is it thursday yet?!?!
