I feel like I don’t have much to say today, so this might be short.
I was pretty busy all day yesterday. I voted, went to the post office, and stopped at Kroger on my way home. I met a friend for lunch (Applebee’s for soup/salad combo), and then spent the rest of the afternoon at my sister’s house keeping her (and Jason) company. I didn’t get home until 6:00, and Eric didn’t get home until almost 7:00. We had dinner and then just crashed on the couch for the evening. I read for a while before turning out my light at 9:30.
EDIT: Karen is doing pretty well. She’s getting enough sleep to stay “just-this-side” of exhaustion. The baby is (mostly) eating well, but he’s a little lazy she said. If it’s “too hard” to get the nipple in his mouth, he just gets mad. He also does NOT like a messy diaper. He won’t even eat until he’s changed. They’re working on getting him to stay away for “play time” between feedings and naps, and she said he sleeps pretty well between 8 pm and 2 am, but after that, it’s hit or miss. Her stitches are still hurting her some, but Advil is a new mom’s best friend, and we tried to keep the giggling, coughing or other motions to a minimum. End EDIT
Today, I have few plans. I should clean my bathrooms. I could vacuum. I might go spend my gift card to Barnes & Noble. Maybe I’ll just sit on the couch and knit. This evening, I have to take dinner to a couple that just had a baby, but other than that, we shall see…
Happy Wednesday!
For Terri: The baby’s play time consists of putting him in the bouncy seat with the vibrator and turning it on. That sensation still surprises him and keeps him awake for a few minutes!
Sadly, I am now home from B&N without a single book purchased. I need some good fiction recommendations. The last two books I bought, I didn’t like.
So…what have you read in the last year or so that you really, really liked?
^YES!^
I hope you got the tomato/basil soup….I loooooooooove that stuff.
This is a week-old baby….. PLAY time????????
Thank you for the update. I think that is much better. Now get thee to Barnes and Noble!
I vote Barnes & Noble too. Absolutely. Your spring break is flying by. Slooooooooow it down.
And Karen needs a copy of my new book to read in her “free time.” 🙂
Definitely Barnes and Noble…..then sit and read what you bought. You were productive yesterday. Two in a row is dangerous!!
I thought you were saying you were “housekeeping” for her, and I was really confused by that sentence for a minte. Don’t worry; I get it now.
^Yes, do go to B and N! What a lovely spring break excursion! Mmm!
OK…details. How is Karen doing with the baby? Is she feeling fine? Is he behaving himself as well as a newborn can?
Where’d you have lunch? What are you making for supper?
