A week or so after giving birth I started wondering what the heck I'd gotten myself into... Peep's a bit colicky. I wanted to go out to the movies and out to dinner and go to China and Belize and go get chai tea whenever I wanted. But then at some point along the way I quit worrying about what I was missing and started enjoying my new responsibilities, started enjoying Peep's smiles and quit minding so much when she cried and just focused on making her happy again. I started feeling like a mom.
This Monday Hubs watched Peep while I went to get a pedicure. I had a terrible time getting out the door. I said goodbye and kissed her little chubby cheeks several times before I FINALLY left.
I'm making sure to enjoy cuddling her and take time to rub my cheek on her fuzzy, lovely smelling little head. She's not going to be little for very long, she weighed 11 lbs. 11 oz. yesterday and she's already 11 weeks old!
According to baby books, Peep's been sleeping through the night since she was about 3 weeks old, which means sleeping 4-6 hours at a time. So not my idea of "through the night"!! She was going to sleep at 7 or 8 and then eating between 12 - 2 a.m. then going a couple hours before eating again. Last week she slept from 8pm to 5am several times, but she's reverted back to the old schedule... Before I know it she will be sleeping through the night by regular definition and I bet I will miss our sleepy middle of the night feedings.
We went to see Hubs's family last week. Peep was a gem on the trip out and was good throughout the week, napping better in the truck (diesel, very loud and vibrate-y) and at the cabin than she ever does here at home!
Here was the highlight of the trip for me... Peach cream cheese pie with fresh peaches (be still my heart) from Tiffany's, a little Amish restaurant... No offense family, it was REALLY GOOD PIE!!
