I intended to blog about something each day, but we all know what they say about good intentions... Although, those of you who have "subscribed" may object to my use of "good" intentions. You were probably only being polite. At any rate, my good intentions were zapped and shriveled up when our AC went out two nights ago. I was backing up our iTunes library and felt pretty hot. I said something to Dan, who is a furnace, and he chalked up my discomfort to dealing with two laptops at once.
Twenty minutes later, on my way to bed, I checked the thermostat which was on a roasty toasty 78*. Now, Eliot was already in bed, asleep, and as you may have guessed from my previous bloggings, we don't wake him up once he's asleep. We kept the ceiling fans on and thanked the Lord that the sun was down when the ac went kaput. When Eliot awoke in the morning, we packed for Grammy and Grumpa's.
This was Eliot's first sleep over since the hospital. I was nervous, but since there was no choice involved, this nervousness was brief and short-lived... And thankfully unnecessary. He did great! In fact, he slept well-naps, night, everything until we got home today! He woke up at 6:30, and did not sleep at all until 11. Ugh! Several of those later hours were not very pleasant. Thirty minutes by himself and then thirty with Daddy holding him.
I know it goes against everything I promised myself and touted on previous blogs, but I decided to hold him for the next nap to avoid a full day of Mr. Fussy. He slept for friggin TWO AND A HALF HOURS! I had prepared for this and had the computer with me. I watched two episodes of Gilmore Girls, half a Lost Season 1 episode, and did some surfing. He only awoke when I finally had to fish my completely dead asleep arm out from under his sweaty, fuzz-covered head.
WHY?!
Okay, c'est l'heure for evening nurse and bedtime routine. Repeat to myself: I will not rock him for longer than 10 minutes, I will not rock him for longer than 10 minutes.*
* I am like a drug to him. The more rocking I give him, the more he requires... NOOOOOOOOO!!
Mr. Fussy, hahahaha! I know what you mean, though, about good intentions. Its that way with everything! Reading the bible, working-out, cleaning... pretty much any New Year's resolution. Anyhoo, blog on whenever its convenient! Twice a day on a boring day, weekly during craziness... whaveve. ;P
