Babies Don't Keep


Yesterday was Jake's 4 week birthday. I can't believe how fast 4 weeks flew by. I decided that it was about time to get off my rump and start cleaning up the 4 weeks of accumulated clutter in our house. WELL, wouldn't you know that my calm, content, and sleepy baby decided to only be calm, content, and sleepy if he was being held. At first I was a little frustrated because my day wasn't going the way I had planned it to, but I remembered a little poem that my mom used to have hanging in our house and I decided to relax!



Cleaning and scrubbing
can wait 'til tomorrow

For babies grow up
I've learned to my sorrow

So quiet down cobwebs
Dust go to sleep

I'm rocking my baby
Cause babies don't keep







So I spent the day with no shower, in my comfy clothes, and without getting as much done in my house as I had wanted to, but I enjoyed every second I spent with my little guy and my little girl in my rocking chair - cause babies don't keep!

What a little sweetheart! Congratulations on your growing family. My baby is about a week ahead of yours, so it will be fun to compare horror stories...only I have a 3 1/2 year old AND a 21 month old to cause problems all day long while I am nursing and consoling my crying newborn...

He is so cute. Loved that poem, too. I'm trying hard to remember that type of message when I think about how not clean our apartment is now-a-days...
