If there is baby asprin, baby tylenol, baby orajel and baby motrin...why the hell isn't there baby ambien?
Seriously, I think Kate would be a great candidate for this. In reality, I'd never give it to her because we have only given her tylenol just a couple of times as we don't like to medicate her...but seriously, it would be nice to have that as an option.
She just isn't sleeping...consistently. She had her good nights during the week, but then again last night...whamo...she's up at 10 and stayed up for quite some time. Then Jon said she was up again wailing at 3, and again at 4 and so he brought her in and the two cuddled the rest of the night. Is it that she's hungry? I fed her at 10 and again at 12:30....could it be that she's starving again at 3 a.m.? What is UP with that?
We had plans to attend an Earthfest this morning (my friend is organizing it...so we were going to support her) and I'm scrapping that. I'd love to see Kate have a long morning nap...she's going to need it. Then this afternoon, I have a sitter coming so I can go to lunch with my two girlfriends. I'd hate to hand a screaming and fussy Kate over to Dama, so the nap this morning is going to take precedence over going to the festival.
Tonight I plan to not see Jon. Sad but true. I'm going to go to bed when Kate does like I normally do during the week and I'm planning to have a bottle ready for Jon to feed her during the night. I just need to catch up on sleep. So does he, so in the morning, I'm going to get her up, feed her and then go outside for a walk so he can sleep in.
I haven't blogged all week because it just seems repetitive to moan about my lack of sleep, so sorry dear readers.
In other...totally different news...lots of happy things this week (all of which involved spending money...why is that?).
-First, I bought my plane ticket to go to Michigan for my sister's 40th birthday in June. It'll be fun. So glad I can celebrate it with her. It will be Kate's first flight and Jon has to say here because of the DTV transition, so Kate and I will be flying alone. Any tips from other moms would help (Stephanie).
-I've also MEGA added to my spring/summer wardrobe now that I'm in the way-before-pregnancy size (GOD I love breastfeeding). I'm a little out of control, but it's such fun!
-I went to the garden store yesterday when it was windy and cold and empty. I bought four 2 cubic yard bags of topsoil and my deck ferns. This weekend when it's 85 and sunny and when everyone else and their brother is in line at the jam-packed garden store, we'll be at home getting the garden beds ready. I'm such a plan-ahead nerd.
We plan on grilling all weekend long...I'm thinking grilled pizza with jumbo prawns! Mmmm, slammin'! And...with some caught-up sleep and perhaps a margarita (light on the tequila...cuz of the whole nursing thing), I think we'll be fresh and new and rested by Monday...when the madness begins all over again.

She's at a good age to fly. It's when they're too big for your lap when it gets dicey! Just have a blanket for comfort of your elbow and a bottle for eating. At the airport, you'll be suprised how many people help a mom by herself with a child. Have as much stuff at your destination so you have as LITTLE to carry on your own.
Let me know when you're in Michigan. Will it be AA? If you are, I'd love to see you and Kate even if it's only for 15 minutes!
