Working at Home as a New Mom!

By Emily

Hi there,

I apologize for being out of touch for a few weeks – you’ll have to forgive me, I just had a baby!

Baby Blake is very healthy and happy… he hardly cries and all and really makes things easy on his parents – we are very grateful!

Never the less, working from home with a new baby is not as easy as I first thought it would be. There are feedings, fussy periods (that always surprise me when I’m trying to talk business on the phone), sleep deprivation, diaper changes and more! Lots of little interruptions throughout the day, not to mention the times when he is awake, smiling and wants to be interactive! (I try to squeeze in the work without being distracted by gazing at the little faces he makes while he’s asleep!)

I was lucky that my husband was able to take 3 weeks off work to help take care of me and the baby right after he was born. Now he’s back at work, and my biggest complaint is that it’s hard to get out for networking meetings with a baby in tow – I still haven’t figured out a good daycare/babysitter solution, yet.

Anyway, that’s the update, I hope to be back posting regularly now that Blake is 6 weeks old and I’m falling into a routine a little more. Here are a few pictures of Blake, and for real fans, you can tune in to his blog: Blake.Cressey.org for more pictures, videos and updates!
