I looked at my schedule out of curiosity. I'm missing some stuff from Strava as I wasn't uploading consistently until May, maybe 5? races/rides from March, 2 from April, about an hour each (I think one April race was 2 laps long so that ride was more like 5 minutes). In terms of child we had minor problems at the beginning, like Junior couldn't feed properly, so it was tough initially since he was basically starving for 2 weeks (almost zero weight gain for 2 weeks then after the doc told us that we had to do anything to get him to eat he gained something like 8 ounces in two days). We had to feed him with a dropper while we let him suck on our pinkie. He was on the cusp to avoid NICU - ICU for babies for those that don't know. 5 lbs 8oz birth, 5 lbs even when we left, APGAR was also low like 8 or 10 (he was basically blue), I think if we were below in any of them (5lbs 7oz was birth weight NICU number, 4 lbs 15 oz would have sent him to NICU, APGAR one lower = NICU) he'd have been put in the NICU.

We had my mother in law helping for four weeks, she took care of everything house-related (food, laundry, chores) so that we could focus on Junior. I was promoting the Bethel Spring Series throughout (he was born the day before the second race of seven) and the Missus spent a night in the hospital the prior week (trying to induce her due to low fluid) so those were some additional drains to our lives. The Missus is a CPA so she had to work one solid week in April after her maternity leave. So overall a pretty uneventful first 8-10 weeks, I feel fortunate that our worries/dramas were so minor. I looked after Junior at work one week (got nothing done), Missus looked after him for a week after tax season (ditto), so I quit work 9 weeks after he was born to be at home with him, that is my current status.

The tall lines are 2 hour rides. I'm pretty sure one of my days was a 15 minute ride. Red line is the birthday.
