Tuesday, June 1st 2010

Belen and I spent the day working. I take her to work with me everyonceinawhile; she stays on the car-seat and I carry her all over the place. Today, we stopped at Noel Cantillo's home. We met up w/ the sub-contractor whom I hired to do the foundation and framing on the home addition.

She stayed at Noel's while I drove to the building department and fence company. I am working on obtaining a building permit for the room addition at Noel's home. I got back around 10:30 am, then I fed Belen. Most of the times, before she eats, she will get a diaper change.

Belen and I took a nap at Noel's and around 11:30 ish, we drove to the store to get bread at SaveMart. We got back home, I ate a sandwich then we drove to a fence company to get an estimate on fence material for Susie Castillo's home.

Lately, I have been busy with getting estimates for small projects. Taiko and Susie have kept me busy at their homes with landscaping projects. At the moment, each have an estimate which I hope will turn into work. I will be juggling those smaller projects, if they are accepted, while I project manage and work at Noel's home. Time has become very valuable and I am having to manage it as best as possible.

I am amazed with my daughter. Having her with me is a delight. Her company is priceless. When I have an opportunity to hold her, I simply want to hold her as close to me as possible and simply want to hold her forever. Knowing that that is not possible, I soon find myself placing her back inside her car seat.

Jen works most of the day. She wakes up around 5:30am, and depending on Belen's needs, she will either breastfeed Belen or pump. She leaves for work around 7am and is home by 5pm. Today, I woke up around 6am and fed Belen. She is starting to eat around 5ounces per meal(every 3-4hours) then she will go back to sleep. During the day, she will stay awake for an hour or two before she decides to fall asleep.

We are learning to adept to having Belen home and we simply love having her here.
