Sleepless in Huntertown

January 11th, 2010

Well we had a nice weekend with the in-laws. Ella had a blast opening a million Christmas presents and they cooked and did dishes for us!

Sleeping is still a bit rough. The night started off good, I had nearly a 3-hour stretch of sleep, but then I didn’t get to sleep for hours. Seemed like every time I layed her down she cried or grunted like she has to poop or gas is irritating her. I’m wondering if having her sleep in the nursery would help me sleep more between feedings. I mean, do I need to be there to tend to her every grunt and moan? I’m hurting for some good sleep.

Anyway, I’ve also been doing some research for preschools for Ella. I can’t believe I’m already looking into preschool. Seems like she was just born. But she wouldn’t of course start to fall – you have to enroll pretty early at some places. I think she’ll love it though. I’m a little torn – she already goes to a sitter two days a week, so I kinda don’t want to give up time with her. But it would also be nice to have some one-on-one with Eva.

So, that’s about it. I also just ordered some erasable labels for food containers. Steve is going to think I’m ridiculous. But I think it would be nice to date leftovers then I know for sure if they’re still good. I know. I’m a dork.

    Hang in there! We had Sam in our room for three months, and after a little while I was able to sleep through all the grunts and moans (or at least ignore them). She’ll let you know when she really needs you!
