<< don't do it in january >> I know I may sound spoiled to those of you who are lucky if you get to travel once in a few years, but I used to go on vacation twice a year, once during the summer and once during the fall season. Well due to the arrival of our son the fall trip didn't happen last year and I'm really beginning to feel it. I REALLY need a vacation. Sadly, I don't see how it's possible right now, with me not working and the baby still not sleeping through the night, I can't even imagine getting on an airplane with him. So yeah, baby and I took a walk today. Whenever the sun shines I try to make it a point to get out. Everything was great for about the first hour or so, as he slept soundly and I listened to the podcast of Oprah and Eckert Tolle's discussion on Chapter Six from "A New Earth". This got me thinking about the best time to conceive a child. I conceived in January. January has to be "the" worst time to conceive. For one, you're stuck inside with morning sickness when it suddenly hits you around the months of March, April and May, which means you really miss the gorgeous spring weather because you're laying in bed all the time. Then you carry all your baby weight through the blistering summer. And once the baby is born you're stuck inside for the colder fall and winter. I don't recommend it. So yeah, my son had a meltdown and believe me when I tell you it was a loooooooong walk home folks. By the time I got home my heart was racing, my hair and clothes were soaked with perspiration and I was ready for a nap. I really need to join a playgroup, get him used to being around other people. I don't want him to be one of those clingy children who doesn't know how to get on with other kids his age and is attached at my hip. Don't get me wrong I love attachment parenting, knowing I'm meeting all of my son's needs to the best of my ability, but socializing him and encouraging independence is very important.
