Congratulations!

The amazing Figlet's LSP has been revealed!  She is a true beauty and warning, should you venture over there and take a peek at her (you should), she will break your heart.  Yes, she is that freakin' pretty.  Congratulations, Figlet!

The awesome Grrl Travels received her referral too and we're all waiting anxiously to find out just how beautiful her little one is.  Congratulations, Grrl!!  I already know that she is gorgeous without even setting eyes on her. 

It certainly is Good2bsmall! Hip Hip Hooray! 

6 am on Monday

After two nights off, I'm back to listening for Z's cries if she wakes in the night. This morning I woke up at 5:00 am.  Actually, I woke up every other hour since going to sleep.  I woke up thinking that she needed me, imagined that she was laying on top of me, and then freakd out because I rolled over and think that I'm smothering her.  All while she is sleeping safely in her crib.

But she has slept soundly through the night.  Not one peep.  This made me a bit nervous because she always makes a peep or two, so I had to get up and check that she was still there.  She was and is.  It is almost 6 am which means she will be up any time from now to 7am. 

Yesterday afternoon, Ray went and got us takeout, and I was all excited about eating my meal on my own.  I had already given Z her lunch, so I figured she wouldn't want any of my food.  WRONG!  Her little face perked up when she saw me sit down with a plate and she quickly disengaged herself from her toys and came crawling over to me with a huge smile on her face.  Yep, she wanted my pasta.  So I shoveled pasta into my face while alternately biting off wee size chunks to shovel into her cute face. 

Wondering if I'll get a shower today.  Thinking that we can't go another day without a trip to the grocery store.  Already fantasizing about my next nap. 

Home Sweet Home

We're home!  Been home for a week last night.  Last week was by far the hardest couple of days I've had since becoming a mother.  Due to part jetlag (mine and Z's) and part ear infection/exhaustion (mine).  I was a wreck.  I could barely hold my head up and pretty much spent the day on the floor while watching Z play. 

But I've had the last two nights to myself down while Ray took the night shift and listened for Z's cries.  It was heaven to not have to worry about anyone and to not feel rushed to get some sleep.  I loved it!  Of course, every morning when Ray brought Z into me was even better, but God, when people told me to get as much sleep before meeting Z they told me that for a reason.  Had I believed them, I would have slept the entire last six months away.  No joke.

Okay, a handful of you have left your blog address when you've left a comment on my travel blog.  I know none of you meant to do it, because it just pops up when you leave a post, but I beg of you, please DO NOT leave a link to your blog.   

Anyway, thank you for being careful!   

Am I paranoid?  Yes, I am.
