Define overdoing  it?  I was asked reprimanded for overdoing it by a friend (via email) today… My response was the afore written question.  Then I got to thinking about it… I have been exhausted, but I didn’t feel like I’d really over done it too much… until I wrote the following out for myself:

Ziva’s been out for 9 weeks now or 63 days

Of those 63 days we have had 29 days without overnight company.

Of those 29 days we’ve had “day company” for more than a meal or a few hours for at least 5 of those days…

So, of the 63 days I’ve had Ziva, I’ve had 24 days without “company” wow!!  (This does not count days where we had multiple visitors for less than an hour or two)

Two of those days I did have friends come over to hold the baby while I did some work around the house (THANK GOODNESS or this place would REALLY be a mess!!)

In that time frame I have gone with company to the following places:

Beach (Lincoln City, Look Out at Cape Fowl Weather, Dory Cove, Depoe Bay and Spirit Mountain)

Rose Garden

Pittock Mansion

Timberline Lodge

Multnomah Falls

Attempted to go to the beach but turned because of traffic, went swimming at my brothers instead

Had three family BBQ’s at my brother’s house

Two Family Birthday parties (dad and Vienna’s)

Ziva’s dedication and lunch after with the family

Silver Creek Falls

All Day at Ikea with Esther

OHSU/Dornbecker Children’s Hospital for Vienna’s kidney scan (without company)

Two visits to Silverton Hospital for blood draws (one for each child, but without company on one of them)

Two “Well Baby” visits (one for each child, and newborn visit for Ziva) (no company for one, but with company for the other)

AND I sorted through two sizes of baby clothes, swapped out Vienna’s closet once, swapped out my closet with regular vs. maternity clothes…

And I wonder why I feel like hiding in a cave at the moment…
