Last Saturday in our fit of exhaustion and our exchange of frustrations and hardships, I asked Eric to pack the diaper bag. For the first time in the 5 months Cecelia has been around, I expressed how exhausting it is to be responsible for her and I every time we leave the house. I gave Eric specific instructions about what should be packed in the bag. These are the things we cannot leave the house without:
- both nipple shields washed and in their buckets
- my nursing cover
- stocked diapers and wipes
- a facecloth
- a change of clothes
- her hat and sweater
- grip water and a siringe
- extra soothers
- my Motillium
- a toy and a blanket for the girl
- my wallet and keys and cell phone
- the camera if we're going somewhere special
He was very willing, and packed Cecelia and all her things up for me that morning.
You want to know what else? He's done it every outing since then as well. There are times when all I have to do is express my frustrations out loud and they are looked after. I have a wonderful husband and Cecelia has a wonderful dad. Why do I sometimes forget this?
