Upside - LO loves zucchini.
downside - I ended up nursing her to sleep. She is only sleeping in 2 hour stretches. She wakes up very upset.
and for the first time in 6 months, I missed my per-baby life. I don't know why. I just found myself wishing I could have some smidge of it back. Just a smidge.
Re: Upside and downside if this weekend
Ya...it is strange the things i miss...kind of stupid stuff like pointless Netflix marathons, or having friends over for long dinner parties....Or sending time with frends, period. we moved when i was 6 months pregnant, so we don't really know anyone here. Until yesterday I had sort of dismissed anything i missed because LO is obviously way more important, she needs me and babies do not keep. I should enjoy every second that she needs me and i do....but after a few nights of hysterical screaming, yesterday i found myself really craving the time alone or time to sit in a restaurant with friends and just chat and drink wine etc.. I get i'll have those things again - it's just that they are still a long way off.
Maybe I should take a weekend off...or maybe DH, LO and I should take a trip to a nearby city and tour around.
The zucchini thing is amazing right? I would never have guessed she would like it. Steamed zucchini is not on my list of faves, but she seems really into it.
And I hear you just had a moment like that myself when I was coming home from work last week. It would have been so nice to take a nap, have a lazy dinner, and have TWO drinks. But, soon enough.
ETA: imagine this is properly punctuated. Mobile bump FTW!
