8:30am

Well, the boppy thing isn't working as well today - but we'll keep trying. I think it does help her spitting up and maybe it'll continue to help calm her a bit we'll see.

I am dreading an 8:30am doctor's appointment tomorrow. Ugh. I can't even begin to imagine how we will get out of the house before that time and be coherent enough to make sense to drive a car, get registered etc. Ugh. Dread dread dread.

Last night, for instance, she went to sleep BEAUTIFULLY. Around 10pm or so - which meant that Mom & Dad got a little snuggle time (that's not TMI, btw) and I got about 3 hours of sleep before she got up. Then I was up from 1:15 til 3:15 doing the whole feeding, bottle feeding, pumping, calming dance (2 hours! Ugh)...and then up again at 4:15 to repeat the whole deal after an unfortunate spit-up-through-the-nose routine. I finally got her to bed around 6am and then got to sleep til about 8:30 which was heavenly. However if that pattern repeats tonight, I don't know how we'll possibly make it to the doc's office. *sigh*

Did I mention I'm tired??!

Ugh. Sounds awful. I hope you made it ok today. I'm sitting here feeling sorry for myself for being so tired & I should thank my lucky stars I get a full night's sleep! Hang in there - this won't last forever.

I should've done this a year ago....

A pandemic game time & conversation (via Zoom)   Well, we're about 13 months into this pandemic and I should've been back blogging then. I mean, I was home an awful lot. I could've done it. But I didn't. I wrote in my actual journal but that's a crazy mish-mash of stuff. This would've been fun to keep just pandemic stuff. Ah well, live and learn. I'll be ready for the next one (no, no, I won't). It's been a year...a year of ups and downs; of being laid off and re-hired; of wondering what to do with my life and starting grad school. We got fish, we got two kittens. What a year.  Kids have mostly been troopers but there have been some tough days. August went back to hybrid last fall, then everything stopped for a while and went back to 5 days a week in February - hooray! Dahlia finally got to start hybrid in.....February? (I can't remember) and then started back in person 4 days a week...but after her first 4 days she was identified as a "

Penguin Shenanigans

Image
For our 2020 Winter Reading program, there wasn't an overall theme. I decided to create my own theme. And the Penguins took over the library! I printed out real-to-life sized photographs of penguins...an Emperor, a Fairy, a Chinstrap and a Galapagos Penguin to be exact. I put them on the walls in one area. My hope was that kids would stand next to them and measure up - and they sure did! It put a smile on my face every time. Above each penguin I included some facts. Usually where they lived, what they ate and any quirky stuff about them. It's always great to be able to provide a little learning opportunity along the way. We also included penguin voting. I always think it's fun to add a pre-math activity when I can. I made 4 buckets with a photo of each of the aforementioned penguins. Kids (& adults) were able to ask for a "voting token" (ie: a saved bottle cap) at the desk and then put it in the bucket of their choice. It was fun hearing t

and IT'S A GIRL!! I'll do a proper introduction later and the whole story and everything but in the meantime, we had a baby girl. 2:15pm on Friday afternoon (I posted at, what? 10;30am? You do the math!!). Her name is Dahlia Marie and she weighed in at a whopping 6lbs even. 19 1/4" long and so incredibly gorgeous (although, I might be a wee bit biased). The birth was the most amazing experience I've ever been through and my mind is still, well, blown, quite frankly. I am so tired though...time for a quick nap before we try to feed again.
