So, whenever Husband goes out of town I get a phone call from him telling me I need to blog. Seriously, honey, do you think I sit around all day long eating bon bons and watching soap operas and dreaming of my next blog post?!?!
Just for my husband here is a run down of the last 24 hours:
1050p- I crawl into bed exhausted. Turn on the TV only to turn it off a few minutes later. I am asleep almost instantly.
1234a- I'm awake. What time is it? How long have I been asleep? Oh, good it is still dark. Back to sleep.
200a- Oh, my poor bladder. Must. go. pee. now.
204a- Back in bed. Get comfy with my pregnancy pillow and back to dreamland I go.
502a- Miguelito cries out, but hopefully he is just crying out in his sleep. All quiet after a few seconds, so I listen to the baby monitor for a few minutes...pure silence. He is back to sleep. Oh, but my poor bladder. Again. Must. go. pee.
623a- Ugh, Miguelito is crying his "I am awake cry." Drag myself out of bed and go to his nursery. He is standing up, but eyes are half shut. Grab Harry (his lovie) and nu nu and Miguelito. Turn on the lullabies CD and hold him for a few minutes. Put him back in his crib and he drifts off to sleep. I stumble back to bed.
715a- Miguelito is awake for the day. I head to his nursery to get him out of bed, change his diaper, and we head downstairs for our morning dose of Sesame Street. The housekeepers are coming this morning, so I need to us fed, dressed and ready to leave the house in the next hour.
815a- Breakfast is done (whole wheat waffles for Miguelito and cereal for me) and we are almost ready for the day. Housekeepers call to say they are running late. Good thing because I need a few more minutes. Miguelito wants to ride on his new rocking horse from Nonnie, help him on and then decide to take a few photos. (See below)
845a- Housekeepers arrive and we are ready to leave. Convince an upset Miguelito to come down the stairs on his belly. Sweetie and Papa T are visiting, so we all head out.
1045a- Back home after a run to Target and WalMart Neighborhood Market. Drop off groceries and supplies then we are off again in search of play sand.
1120a- Back home in time for lunch. Make lunch for Miguelito, but he decides that mine and Sweetie's lunches taste better.
1230p- Put Miguelito down for an early nap along with a dose of Motrin for teething. Listen to him babble and roll around for a few minutes before going to sleep. Jump on the computer and chat with husband via IM, check email and start reading the online lactation course I need to complete today.
120p- Maybe if I close my eyes, I can get a nap in before my 32w OB appt this afternoon.
140p- Miguelito is crying. So much for my nap. Run upstairs to his nursery. Cuddle with him and he goes back to sleep almost instantly. Gingerly place him in his crib and tip toe out of his room.
215p- Leave Miguelito sleeping under Sweetie's capable care and drive to Presby for OB appt.
245p- 32w OB appt...nothing new. BP check (it's great), weight (ugh, but okay), pee in cup, listen to baby William (heart rate was 152bpm) and measure fundal height (32.5w).
320p- Run to Sonic after appt for two diet Cherry Limeades...one for me and one for Sweetie.
340p- Back home. Miguelito is excited to see me and gives me a kiss. It is nice to be missed. He spies the Sonic cups and demands a sip. Then another and another and another and another. (See photos below)
500p- Make dinner for Miguelito after playing with him for most of the afternoon. He eats and then when he sees Sweetie's dinner, he demands a bite or two.
700p- Bath time and bed time for Miguelito. Play a game of "I'm going to get you" to chase Miguelito up the stairs while carrying a laundry bushel full of supplies from Target. Bathe Miguelito and then he has a mini-meltdown over his toothbrush, which promptly ends bath time. Sweetie gives him his bottle and reads stories then we both put him his crib and grab our last Miguelito kisses of the night.
745p- Remember I need to put out the trash for tomorrow morning, so I go do it along with changing a light bulb in the guest bathroom and bringing in a roll of paper towels and Liquid Plumber for my slow moving bathroom drain. Yes, we desperately need a handyman.
810p- Finally sit down and begin work on the lactation course.
930p- Done. Finish lactation course and then remember my husband wants me to blog. Download photos from today and start writing this blog entry. As soon as I am done I am off to bathe and go to sleep.
940p- Sweetie tells me she is off to bed.
1001p- Getting ready to upload the photos to the blog entry and click publish. Husband, I sure hope you enjoyed a glimpse into our day. Love you and miss you.
