I have realized (remembered) that a new mom has to become a one-handed wonder. Between nursing nearly constantly around the clock and then holding this sweet angel that tends to be a bit fussy on the off times, I have become quite handy with one hand, often the wrong hand. Here are a few things I have been mastering with one hand:
~cracking eggs
~blogging (including this post)
~emailing/typing
~photo editing of my baby
~reading (yes, I am actually reading. I'm reading this book and enjoying it)
~applying make-up
~eating (most meals it seems)
~paying bills
My days are pretty low key with not high expectations for now. Thankfully this phase will pass and that I am blessed with two hands! Here are a few of my "one-handed" edit pics- Addie at 3 weeks:
