Saturday Morning Scene

This is my Saturday morning scene, after Makayla and I both had breakfast.

Sleep

Morning News

As you know, this is my last week of Maternity leave. While I would love to say that I have a routine worked out with the babes, if I said it, I would be not telling the truth. Yesterday, we tried some belly time...
and the jury is still out on if she liked it or not.

This morning I thought I would give the neglected Boppy a whirl....

Maybe if it wasn't the news on the tv she would still be interested?

I do have to admit, this kid melts my heart...

See why? I? could watch her sleep FOREVER!

Sleep

What is sleep? According to Merriam-Webster, sleep is "the natural periodic suspension of consciousness during which the powers of the body are restored." I put that out there because I have no idea what sleep is. Yes, I do get some rest, a nap per se, but I cannot recall the last time I had 8 hours of continuous sleep. Wait, I can..sometime last March. Yep, right before we found out we were expecting. Now, I am lucky to get sleep in 3 hour increments. She was doing well, giving me at least 4 hours, but the last couple days, I was lucky to get sleep in hour increments before she decided she had enough. Take last night for example. She would fall asleep with us holding her, as soon as we would put her in her crib, she was wide awake! All.night.long. Finally, at 2 am, with me holding her, me sitting up in the futon, she fell asleep. Until about 4am. Then the process repeated itself. Finally at 6 am, she went back to sleep until 10am. Yeah, slept through our first 2 daycare tours. Called them, able to successfully reschedule one appointment, left a message about the other one. She is sleeping now...something I am about to do in a moment, so I will be rescheduling another tour. I guess we are staying in today...it's ok...apparently snow is on the way. So, be safe out there, and hopefully there will be sleep in our igloo tonight.

Pink

This is what happens when you put your baby, wearing pink, into a crib, decked out in pink, which is in a room with pink curtains, that cast a pink glow...

Peaceful slumber
