No expectations

I feel like things are finally settling down.
We are in our new normal routine. I'm not saying we have everything figured out by any means, but Scott, Elly and I are almost partly adjusted to the newest member of our family, Lucy.
I've gotta say that it took a little longer than I expected, which is totally my fault. In these situations I shouldn't even have expectations.
That's been my motto for the past couple weeks, "no expectations." Then I can't be disappointed if something doesn't quite go the way I think it should.
I only have one more week at home before I head back to work. And before we know it, Christmas will be here. Time really does speed up as you get older.

Well, we're currently in the middle of family visits since Lucy has been born.
Grandma Lynn and Poppie came out for a week right after Lucy turned a week old. Grandma Susan arrived on Halloween and gets to stay for a week.
We're still trying to figure out schedules and routines. This has been my biggest transition so far, I think.
I take care of little babies all the time, yet I've forgotten what it's like to have one in my own home.
I think once I'm not scared to death that Elly will attack or "love" on Lucy I might be able to get a few things done, but I'm not sure how long that will take.
I'm already having to plan my return to work...wow...time does go by fast.
