Although Mommy and Daddy are Valentine's Day bah-humbugs, Merrick has not yet been jaded by the over-commercialized holiday, and would like to wish everyone a Happy Valentine's Day! :)
Monday was my first night away from Merrick EVER. I had a business trip to Atlanta - just an overnight trip, and a quick 45 minute flight. It was the ideal business trip introduction since having him. But it was hard!!!! Of course Craig flawlessly performed double duty and I'm sure all the bachelors in the house (that includes Dex!) had fun without me. I have been very fortunate with my job and they have held to their commitment of very minimal travel - a sticking point before I would return. So far this was my first trip since I went back to work in October, and there are no additional travel plans on the horizon at this point. For those that weren't aware, pre-Merrick I was on the road about 50%, most of that in California - which makes for a LONG week when going coast to coast all the time.
I was thinking, as I arrived at my hotel on Monday, that if I had to look on the bright side, it would be the first full, uninterrupted night's sleep I've had since I was in my second trimester of pregnancy. But I found myself waking up anyway...briefly forgetting where I was, in that haze where you're not sure where you are or what's going on - 'where's the monitor?!', 'where's Merrick?!', 'is he breathing??!!!!', 'oh no I've lost Merrick in the sheets', etc. Oh well, guess I'm meant to sleep when he's 18.
This morning while feeding Merrick breakfast, he showed me his brand new skill - clapping!! Enjoy below:
