Most days I feel ridiculously successful if I've showered, fed myself enough and managed to get out of my PJ's by the time Mick gets home from work.
Augie is a little insomniac during the day -he's mastered the 20-minute catnap so he doesn't miss any action. Fortunately, this means he crashes at night. He's been fairly consistent with his 3-4-hour sleep blocks at night. For that I am extremely grateful.
One Godsend of daytime baby sleep, which I only recently discovered, is something called a Mei Tai baby carrier, given to me by my dear friend Jenny. It's basically a Baby Bjorn-type thing, but for an infant - that you just tie onto yourself. It's that whole concept of 'baby-wearing'. He LOVES it and goes to sleep pretty much right away when I put him in it. Then I have two arms to do whatever I want (like posting this blog with a little man strapped to me...see attached photo - it's a dreadful photo of me but reality at the moment!).
Two mysteries of life that are plaguing me at the moment:
1) how can one teeny little person, who theoretically (ha!) sleeps 75% of the time, take up SO MUCH time and energy?
2) how can that same teeny little person, whose clothes are no bigger than your average washcloth, generate SO MUCH laundry??
Just kidding, we're having an absolute ball.
