Juggling Mommyhood and my career

So I have just about the perfect job to be a Mom and still maintain my career. This is mainly because I do 85% of my work at home. In 2008, I took on less work (about half the normal amount) so that I could hang out with Owen as much as possible. I think keeping my business is going to protect my sanity in the long run, at least that is the plan (plus I like to be busy). Everything seems to be going well, with one exception: dun dun daaa "The Bottle Chronicles." Sometimes, as you can imagine, things don't go exactly as planned with a baby. For example, Owen won't take a bottle. This doesn't seem to be that big of a problem until you realize that I work 12-hour wedding days AND I am his only food source. If you've ever seen me shoot a wedding you know that I rarely sit down, much less take a 15 minute break, but this summer is different. My little Owen needs to eat every 3-4 hours and I have to feed him. So we did a trial run this past weekend with 100% success. Matt drove his *new* 1984 Westfalia camper van (I'd hardly call it new) to both events and brought Owen to me for nursing sessions. Luckily, my husband is a trooper and my clients are too. Matt even crossed Oak Creek 3 times on Saturday to bring Owen to me for his lunch, dinner and pre-bedtime snack. Mommy and Daddy didn't get all that much sleep in the lovely camper pop-top, but it was fun never-the-less. Photo by Jake Bacon. Camper photos coming soon...
