well, we did it! we had our little baby girl!!!!! we are doing great
now. me and the babe have a good schedule going. it's not set in
stone but it's fairly predictable. she does a good job of sleeping for
around 4 hours at night at a time and after a quick feeding, goes right
back to sleep so i do manage to feel good and rested most nights. she
has fussy times but nothing too insane, she's not colicky, thank god
(knocks on wood!) our next challenge will be to introduce a bottle so
when i do go back to work she won't decide to go on a hunger strike and
freak us out! i got myself a nice expensive breast pump and will be
pumping this week and trying out the bottle. wish us luck that she
will switch back and forth between bottle and breast!
greg's mom has been here and back home already. it was a nice visit!
she is so in love with LS. my mom arrives today! i'm so excited to
see my momma, it's been over a year since i saw her last.
i'm managing to keep the house in fairly decent condition. the stupid
laundry does pile up but i can take LS with me to brainwash and get it
done. it is harder with her but it can be done.
we are moving in like a week! i haven't done any packing at all and i
think i'm procrastinating because i can't believe we are going to
tackle moving with a month old baby!!!! are we insane??? yes but the
apt is just too good of a deal to pass up. this place is a place where
we can live 'til we move out of san francisco. we can even have
another kid and have enough room for us all! we will definitely be
pinching our pennies and not have much leftover money after rent and
bills but we can do it. i'll be getting a raise when i go back to work
and i just know it will all work out. we've both always struggled
financially but have always managed to make it work.
okay, baby is starting to wake up! time to go :)
