My hat goes off to mommy bloggers who blog every day. Where do you find the time?

It sounded great – a new baby and a new blog to write about our experiences – but it’s been a challenge. If there’s any question, just look at the last time I had the chance to post an entry.

Not that I haven’t thought about blogging, had experiences to share or questions to put out to the world. I have, but I am also still working on the balancing act.

But who isn’t? It’s not just new parents. Everywhere I look people are struggling to fit their life into their schedule. Veteran parents tell me that the first few years are rough, but then it gets easier.

I am unconvinced. It seems that after a few years it’s time to introduce more chaos in the form of classes, play dates and baby meetups.

Regardless, I take some comfort in knowing that there’s a bunch of people who are overworked, stressed and could use a solid week of sleep. I am reassured that I am not alone when my co-workers yawn during meetings – and some of them don’t have babies.

And speaking of the baby, she’s great. I mean really great. I’ve turned into one of those parents who spends too much time answering the obligatory, “How’s your daughter,” question. Just this week I realized that a new grandmother at my office couldn’t wait to get out of the elevator with me because I was going on, and on, and on about Sophia.

As a proud new parent it’s my prerogative. I am holding back somewhat because I want to announce daily to everyone within earshot that I am honored to be a parent and incredibly lucky. I want to make them look at the photos on my iPod.

Instead, I steal glances of my desktop background (one of Sophia’s Easter photos) throughout the day rush home to spend a few hours together each evening. It’s the least I can do before we have to wake up and start the process over again. Which we are getting ready to do right now (She types as she hears the baby beginning to stir.)
