So last night was the big night. John worked the night shift, and I stayed home with Bubby. Luckily he slept pretty well- woke up at 11:30pm, 4am, and then finally 6:30 am. I’m forgoing my normal morning nap trying to get used to it (honestly, I got about 8 cumulative hours last night, I [...]
Shortly after we were married, one of John’s professors told him he should write an essay about bed sharing. Apparently, after a life of sleeping alone, adjusting to another person’s presence and habits can be interesting. I’m not sure the essay ever even got started, but I’ve thought about that now and then. [...]
I got out today!! Yay! I went to lunch with Anisa- it was VERY nice to go out and chat and not have to worry about Camper crying (thanks Cy’s Dad for being so amiable and watching him so much ) and eating without worrying that my baby is hungrier than I am. I [...]
So…I’m not sure what time I went to bed last night. I see that I posted at almost two, and I thought I had Camper in bed about a half hour after that, or maybe an hour…but I also remember being up at 3 and then feeding him one more ounce. So I don’t know. [...]
No work for me today. Yesterday the newbie and I got through everything that needed to be done, and seeing as how I was feeling rather extraordinarily pregnant I thought that today might be a good day for her to fly solo and get some rest for myself. (Payroll starts Monday.) Last night was another [...]
The title of this post is a text message from my Dad on Sunday. I found it amusing. I didn’t go to work yesterday- I couldn’t even fathom it. Not even a little. I went today, but a couple of hours into it when the hot flashes and the pain and the nausea became overwhelming, [...]
Another doctor’s appointment today. I went in trying to control my expectations- even though I felt like things were happening over the weekend, I know that you can never tell. But it turns out I am a bit dialated, and 50% effaced. The baby’s head is also at 0, which means he’s right there. He’s [...]
Today we slept in a wee because we had a morning appointment with our baby doctor. I was told, through her examinations, that Camper is indeed head down (although the ease with which she was able to figure that out made me a little scared that he has a monster-sized dome), that I’m pretty much [...]
It’s actually been a good couple of days. Camper-centered, like usual. He’s been on the top of our minds and people have showered us with gifts for our little baby to be. Yesterday we got a HUGE box from our Groton family. TONS of clothes, I can’t even believe it. Looks like BabiesRUs exploded in [...]
So, I was up all night last night and sorely tempted to stay in bed allll daaay long today. Contrary to this impression, I did get up and go to work, which is where all the ridiculousness started. I sat down and started updating my spreadsheets, all normal-like, just enjoying a plastic container of blueberries [...]
