Baby!
« on: Dec 05, 2012, 06:41 pm »
No, not the beloved Maltby and Shire musical, but an actual human baby!  My most recent production has been baby Maija Naomi, born 11/11 (early, like every good stage manager).  We are still working out sleeping, etc, although AEA breaks have been a great preparation for the 90 min sleep/eat cycle she seems to be favoring.
I am planning on going back to work in February, and would love any advice that other working mom/SM's might have!

:-)

You will have to sing for your supper & your mortgage, your dental coverage & your children's shoes, over & over again while people in desk jobs roll their eyes the minute you start to complain. So it's a good thing you like to sing.

From one SM mum to another - accept help when it's offered, take time away when you can, use a babysitter as soon as you can, sleep when she sleeps, definitely don't worry about keeping a spotless house for a while, a sling is your best friend, don't try to alter her schedule by keeping her up late or forcing her awake (trust me!), the first time you hand her over to daycare you're going to be a wreck but it gets better. Best of all, breathe and enjoy it. Nothing proves to you how quickly time passes than watching a baby grow up.

Oh, and "Go!" should be her first word  ;D

You're going to do great!

To be a good stage manager you need to have the soul of an artist, the mind of a director, the eye of a designer, the joy of being an actor...
and the ability to manage them all.

Absolutely beautiful, and a wonderful name! Congratulation to you!

And if you need any hand-knit baby items, I'm happy to oblige!
