A new Normal (?)

I often tell my friends and family that we are trying to find our new normal. The  time gap between this entry and the last, may give some indication we haven’t quite found it yet. But, a lot has happened since the last entry. Jago started daycare, we are both working full time again, we started leaving the house again, having parties again, heck we even took our first road trip. All with Little Jago of course! Each one of those things could make for a blog entry by itself, and I’ll get around to it eventually, but I was talking about the new normal. So the big question is, what is the new normal, and how do I envision the new normal? Well, that’s simple, I want the old normal, just add Jago. So how’s that workin’ out? Well, before we (she) got pregnant, we kept pretty busy. We pretty much didn’t stop moving from the time we got up, until the time we went to bed. Working more than full time, always going different places, doing different things, seeing different people. Our weekends were always packed with activity and excitement. Monday evenings were always crash nights, as we still tried to recover from the weekend. So how’s about now? Well, we are still busy from the time we get up in the morning until the time we go to bed. Check! No difference there! But what do we do from morning until night? Let’s see; there’s feeding Jago, changing Jago, taking Jago to daycare, picking Jago up from daycare, putting Jago down for a nap, feeding Jago again, etc etc. etc. Wow – there’s a lot of Jago in there. Oh yea, and we work all day! And then there’s the weekends. We still go places, do things, see people! We just bring a heck of a lot more stuff! And Jago! And then there are weekends we JUST SLEEP! The new normal is definitely sleep deprived. But sometimes those weekends are the best, because we get to spend the whole day just hanging out with Jago. And sometimes, after working all week, and not getting to spend any really fun time with him, that’s a perfect way to spend the weekend. So what’s the new normal?? For now, all I can say is, its lots of Jago, not a lot of sleep, and it seems to be ever changing. But I can certainly say, its what we want it to be! Stay tuned, for the next revelation! :)
