Now I\u2019ve been home with our daughter for one month. Time has passed really fast. Somehow I haven\u2019t had one full week alone with her anyway. The first two weeks fully planned, as Susanna only worked 60\u00a0% then, then a long weekend in Germany shortened two more weeks, and now this last week Susanna got sick and stayed at home for two days. So I still have to cope with the first five days week ahead.<\/p>\n

Last Friday was a new record though. Susanna had some thing at her work with dinner attached to it. She left right about eight and didn\u2019t come home until half past 11 at night, that\u2019s fifteen and a half hours, more than five hours longer than the longest she has been away from our daughter before. I can\u2019t imagine how that feels. Susanna and our daughter have a special relationship, sure all mothers have that with their kids, but I think Susanna is one of the more attached kinds. I think that is good. That makes for a good caring mother.<\/p>\n

This night was also the first time I had to get our daughter to bed by myself. I haven\u2019t done this before. Mainly because\u00a0Susanna<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>is breastfeeding\u00a0our daughter<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>to sleep most nights (I think I know of one exception lately where Susanna and our daughter went to bed, but before the breastfeeding started our daughter just fell asleep). I\u2019m not that good at that, due to the lack of milk-producing breast like most other men. The only way I have to get her to sleep is to walk with her in a sling. That was what I did tonight. I\u2019m happy my winter-jacket still is large enough to cover us both as I didn\u2019t want to put on her warm clothes as they would have been too warm in bed, or she might have woken up if I tried to take them off. (I have had that problem during the afternoon nap before).<\/p>\n

There are a few things that have happened during this time. Our daughter has finished her second swimming-class, we have gone to the \u201copen preschool\u201d a few times and autumn has given us some really nice days. We did also go to Germany, see previous post, and attend a great wedding of two good friends.<\/p>\n

\"Some<\/a><\/p>\n

This far I\u2019m not bored or don\u2019t know what to do with the days, actually I\u2019m happy when I have a day without plans, as I get to take long walks with her then. (I could do long walks anyway, like today when I walked over to a friend about 50 minutes away). Walking is relaxing. Walking without direction or goal is even more so.<\/p>\n

Now as the days have become short\u00a0and it\u2019s getting colder there are a few things that have to be done.\u00a0I’m\u00a0starting to tick of things of my to-do list, but somehow it\u2019s growing faster. I don\u2019t mind that, it just shows that I find new things I could do. Many of the things on my list\u00a0aren’t\u00a0that important and don\u2019t have a deadline. I really don\u2019t like deadlines that much, it is better to take things when the spirit is right, they go so much faster and smoother then.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s all for this time, now on to the next month of being at home\u2026
