What a week!

Like Ehlan has told me, it's always something...

Last week, I was begging the heavens to let Lola sleep at night. This week, she developed a schedule where she slept during the night time hours (9 PM - 1 AM, then 2 AM - 5 AM), BUT she has been a terror during the afternoons/evenings. At one point, I turned to Josh and said " Oh God, do you think she has C*lic?" (I'm not even spelling the entire word in fear that it may be true). I don't think she has it, but still, you don't get much done when you are trying to comfort a grumpy baby from noon to 7 PM.


here is my serene baby of last week...oh where has she gone?




I now know why some mothers have incredible biceps. I believe there's a good chance I may soon own guns without even having to go to the gym. And, if I don't end up with muscles, I know I will definitely develop tennis elbow.

So, all week the afternoons were awful -- with the exception of Wednesday. On Wednesday, Josh's sister, and my mother and sister were all in town. Lola slept all afternoon. Apparently, she just needs a relative to hold her. :)

With her auntie loulou:




I have a lot more to write, including our adventure in Berkeley, but there's 8 pounds of love wailing my name in baby language. :) To be continued....

  1. You've always had guns; don't give us that.

  2. Hey D,
    Hope you are hanging in there. It's good to read about your experience. I'm thinking and about you and your family :).
