Life with a baby

Joseph Scott Coniglio was born on November 6, 2008 and changed our lives forever! He's been such a happy baby since the day he came into the world. I mean, of course he's had his moments but when he smiles he just melts your heart! We are so blessed to have him and couldn't picture our day to day life without him.

I have been back to work since January and unfortunately Adam was laid off at the end of October 08. On the upside, he is able to take care of Joseph. I have my days when I'd rather be at home of course but am so grateful that my job has not been effected by the slump in the economy. I get to work as early as I can so I can rush home to see my guys (usually waiting at the door for me).

The main thing that I had to adjust to when I first became a parent, was time management. I was late before and now I'm super late :) If I get Joseph in his car seat he'll spit up or I hear a rumble in his pants and have to take him out and change him. Another thing is always having the diaper bag stocked up; blankets, socks, onsies, sleepers, wipes, diapers, cream and if you are pumping like me.....can't leave home without your pump. So lets see that's a diaper bag, my pump, my purse and Joseph. That's a lot! WOW! Never looked at it that way, but it's worth the 5 trips to and from the car and the 15 minutes it takes me to get out the door.
