i definitely spoke too soon last night. We had a tough one – N was up all night, eating. He's one ravenous little baby. We didn't get any sleep and it was a long night. But we have some strategies for tonight so hopefully it will be a little easier.
HIghlights from today:
- N's visit to the doctor: everything looks totally normal. He didn't even cry during his exam! Naked on the table and he didn't cry except for once when Dr. Fink pressed on his stomach. He's back over 8 pounds.
- Eating on the deck, at the beautiful table that M&A set, and enjoying a meal brought to us by our friend Polly. Very pleasant – early summer night, not too hot, no mosquitos yet.
- M getting a long tutorial on how the breast pump works, and seemingly enjoying it!!
- M cancelling her playdate and coming home after school.
- My one hour hap from 3-4. Yum.
- Flowers arriving from Jonathan/Liz/Sarah/Rachel and also some from our friend Bruce.
Daddy and the girls made a plan for the summer tonight- things they want to do, etc. Every day they will read, spend no more than 30 minues playing on the computer, practice the piano. They will also learn to ride bikes and play board games.
