Sara, have you read that book? (Healthy Sleep Habits) It's pretty good. I've skimmed it before, before Roo was born, but now that she's starting to fall into sleeping patterns, I wanted to read it for some guidance. I really think that if we can set up a fairly predictable sleep schedule, life will be better for EVERYONE. ;-)
Thanks for asking how things are going. She's a good baby, an easy baby. We have our ups and downs. I'm not like super woman--the house is still a mess, the thankyou cards are unwritten, lots of dirty laundry, the kitchen floor is disgusting, I eat chocolate chips all day long-- you get my drift. Things are good though-- I think it's pretty balanced. If I get out of the house at least once a day, I feel good. Yesterday I went out BY MYSELF. I love those times. It is such a change in your life. Last night Joe said, "You were gone for like 2 hours!" as if that was sufficient to make up for the last 3 months I haven't been gone. So, then I said, "The way that you said that indicates to me that you don't really understand (emphasis on the word "understand") what it is like to be me-- to feel constantly needed-- being gone for 2 hours is WONDERFUL, but still the entire time you feel this timer ticking in your head, reminding you that time is running out, this voice constantly nagging you that 'you should hurry up. You really are taking too long. You need to get home, your baby is going to be hungry and waiting for you. your time is running out. hurry up!'" So, how did that go over? Actually, instead of snapping back at me, Joe said that it made sense and he understood what I was saying. Wow. How's that for a husband? Lately I can have major attitude, nice of him to listen.
Sara--as you can see, things are really pretty good, and I have no right to complain. I am amazed at your being a mother with Nate gone. I bet you could use just 20 minutes out of the house by yourself. I hope that you can get a few hours soon to yourself. Do you have family near by, or any close friends who help?
I'm sending all my good, cheerful, positive vibes your way. Take care of yourself! Enjoy B&N! YOu have my sympathy and admiration. I hope you have a nice day today.
love ya,
Em
