Wine-ing down from a long, napless day..

Today was very exhausting. The baby’s morning nap was only an hour long and I tried to get her to sleep a little longer by laying down with her in my bed and that didn’t work.. so we got up and had lunch, went on a walk, swings, the usual. Afternoon nap was the same way which sucked because I hadn’t been able to rest all day. Her hour-long nap is barely long enough for me to lay down, let alone actually fall asleep and feel rested when I wake up. 

I forgot to mention my hubby had to work an overnight tonight.. that means he went in at 6am and will be home at like 8am tomorrow. So that’s why it was even more exhausting than normal. At least when he comes home from his normal workday at 4pm it breaks up the monotony a bit and I get a break.

Tonight, she was sitting in my lap and we were watching Baby First TV (HER FAVORITE!) and I saw her chewing on her fingers. So I put my finger in there to feel around for any teeth. I wasn’t expecting to feel anything since there hadn’t been any progress in the past few days and I felt two finally trying to surface on the top. I guess her teeth like to come in in two’s. That’s how her bottom teeth did. The pediatrician said the top teeth are a lot more painful than the bottom. Poor baby.

So that explains a lot of what happened last night and her crazy wakefulness lately. Like the bottom teeth, once they finally pop through everything will go back to normal— well for the most part.. nothing is ever “normal” when you have a baby ;)

The hubs promised me a pedicure after payday so I am really looking forward to that! Tomorrow I’ll post my totally awesome New Year’s Resolutions so stay tuned.

“Goodnight, sleep tight, and pleasant dreams to you. Here’s a wish and a prayer that every dream comes true. And now till we meet again.. Adios! Au revoir! Auf wiedersehen! Goodnight!” —This was the song my parents used to sing to me every night after they tucked me in :) It’s worth looking up if you’ve never heard it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ol9_0schMHs
