I don’t remember exactly how much I was up feeding Anna early this morning. I think 12AM, 2AM, 4:30AM, 7AM, 9AM… I’m not really clear any more. But in any case, these times are when I sit cross-legged on our easy chair, alternating between looking at my adorable little girl and waking up wondering how long she’d been done. Last night also had two screaming sessions… one more than usual. I don’t like screaming, but she doesn’t really seem to have much control over it at this point, so I try to be as comfortable as possible and have invented several new ways of bouncing her without getting up or using very many muscles. 🙂 She does like bouncing.
Anyway, Brian decided to go into work a little late today to get a little more rest – besides he has to work late today. We all get up at around 9 and Anna has milk and we have fruit loops. We have been eating scrambled eggs and toast, but we’re out of eggs and sick of toast, so fruit loops it is. 🙂 Milk is healthy! Brian then sits and adores Anna for a little while and I take a nap. Really, I just continue my night’s string of naps.
Ok, this is taking too long to write. Somewhere in there Brian and I figure out the ring sling enough to take Razzie outside and eat our fruit loops in the sunshine. I get an hour nap which our good-intentioned neighbor woke up with the doorbell to drop off a gift. I think she’d have liked to see Anna, but I was still half-asleep on the couch so Brian didn’t invite her in. Then we had lunch – yummy leftovers. Then Brian went to work and I fed Anna again. Somewhere later, Anna spewed a huge spitup all over her changing table (glad it was there!) and I changed her outfit AGAIN that I had just put on. Wow – that was a LOT of spitup. I also tried out her first cloth diaper. So far, I have too much diaper for the cover, but I’ve got time to practice. So, about an hour of soothing a fussy Anna later, she is refed, reclothed and napping in her swing – I want a shower!
I’m going to take a fast shower and maybe catch a few minutes of shut-eye. I hope!
