8:00 – 11:00

• “constructed” my new stool
• stared around my room trying to envision the layout that would work best

11:15 – 1:00

• Arrived back at the school where our financial advisor was waiting because we had changed the meeting location
• Started Calder’s college savings
• Talked a lot about money (realized kids (and life in general) costs more than expected)

 1:00

• Called daycare to check-in (after having restrained myself most of the morning)
• Learned that he had 2 more poopy diapers and that the daycare provider thought it might be something more serious than teething, my diet, or stress.

• Felt terrible that I hadn’t called the doctor or daycare earlier!

• Left the office with a smiling, cooing, little baby who apparently has nothing wrong with him as he seems just fine.

6:30-7:30

• Shopped at Meijer for odds and ends, including two bookshelves for my room, which I’ll assemble tomorrow
• Looked longingly at the aisles of treats and tasty goodness that I wanted to devour, my lunch having long since worn off.

8:00

• Finished feeding him
• Changed him again (2 diapers this time!)
• Swaddled him so I could restock the diaper supply that has been quickly dwindling
• Emptied Diaper Genie
