I have got to break eis of this up every four-ish hours business. It's possible she was up a lot because she was freezing. I put her in the jammies Tim bought her, so he could see her in them, however it's below freezing outside and thus fairly chilly inside and those jammies were a thin cotton-esque material. When I'd change her diapers in the night, her legs and hands would be ice cold. She kept kicking off the covers cause she moves so much, so finally I wrapped one around her and laid the other on top, and put her hat and mittens on her, so she was pretty bundled the rest of the night. Tonight, she has on her reindeer suit, so she'll be toasty, even if she kicks off the covers off. It's nice to have jammies with a hood cause it really helps keep her head warm.
She woke up at 0800 and I fed her, changed her, got het dressed, played with her, then got ready, but everyone else was still sleeping, so she went down for another nap and I went downstairs to eat some breakfast. She slept about 40 min, then I brought her down and she played with Tim and Michelle for a bit. Eventually, I took her up to eat, then put her down for another nap. However, just a few minutes in, Tim started vacuuming and yelled at east for leaving a shoe out after he vacuumed up the laces. At that point, eis woke up.
Michelle and I were planning dinner and all the stuff we would need, then decided to go to the commissary. Tim wanted me to leave eis, but he refuses to change her diapers and she fusses as soon as she's dirty, so I knew that wouldn't work well, plus she really needed a nap. I changed her and loaded her into the truck. When we got to the commissary, I put the whole carseat thing into the stroller in the hopes that she'd fall asleep. Luckily, a minute into our trip around the store, she was passed out. Her little hat was over her eyes and she was toasty warm and comfy. Se slept the ride home, so we unloaded the groceries and I got the diaper bag and we went to Home Goods. She slept the whole ride and most of the time in the store! I think she got around an hour and a half long nap -- thank goodness.
I gave her a small bottle when she woke up and I changed her, then we stopped in Home Depot so Michelle could pick up some glue. She held eis, since eis was tired of the seat and wanted to stretch her leggies. She was unhappy when we got back in the car :( and cried because she had gas and was hungry because she'd only had 2.5oz and she drinks around 6-7 in a feeding. I thought we would be home sooner than we were, so I could nurse. We headed home and when we arrived I made some BBQ sauce real quick, then took up for some lunch. She played with Tim for a while, then I put her down of another nap.
We had BBQ sandwiches for dinner with beans and sweet potatoes. It was yummy. I ran a bath for eis and let Michelle bathe her after she fed her some cereal. After that I put her down and read her a story, then she fell asleep.
I am going to try to do her bath at 1900 when I get home, which means she'll be in bed by 1930. Hopefully, that will help her start sleeping better and will ease our crazy napping situation. I'll have to ask Dr.E, at the six month appointment, about what to do in the middle of the night when eis is convinced she is going to die because she feels so starving. I read to offer water because they generally don't want that, but I know I can't offer water until she's six months old, so I still have a few weeks.
My back was spamming like mad today. I don't know what I did or if I slept wrong, but damn! I gave been trying to stretch, but I just can't get it. It almost makes me nauseous because it's so intense. I need to see Kim and get realigned because I can just tell my bones are all out-of-whack and I can't figure out how to fix it :(
