The Waiting Game

So today is some sort of Canadian holiday, though I haven’t been keeping up with it because everyday is a holiday now — no work and with a newborn everyday seems like the last. This morning was more difficult, but now she is asleep and we have some time to ourselves. Now, I don’t even know what to do with myself when she’s sleeping. It seems my world now revolves around feeding her, burping her, changing her, and cleaning her. In between all of those, making goo-goo ga-ga noises and faces at her to get her to smile and laugh. My world is officially babyfied. Heh.

There are a lot of sitting around and waiting right now. With me moving officially to Canada, I’m just waiting for my paperwork to fall through. After that, I have all these things to take care of, including getting a new car insurance in Canada, changing my address, possibly looking for another job (sooner rather than later, though I’m not sure yet), establishing a bank, maybe getting a new car or switching my current one over to Canadian standards, updating my fast pass passport across the border, etc. The list seems to go on and on. But right now, it’s the waiting game. I can do the waiting game, especially since I don’t have to do much but wait. Being patient seems to be the name of the game that is my life now.

I must go now. I’m waiting for her to wake up and announce that she’s again hungry. The girl is going through a huge growth spurt.
