Sat
The girls did pretty well last night.
I get everything organised at 3am for the day, and then again at 3pm for the night, based on the bottles etc i have, this works best. When i get back to Tn, i'll have more supplies etc. so i can do it all in one go. I've found without the laundry its not so much an issue of washing, its the drying part, its freezing outside, so i have wet outfits lying everywhere in front of heaters Dustin bought.
We're used to the deer now, they come up all day long. Apparently there are a lot of cougars and coyotes out there too, Dustin saw a cougar print outside meters from our house.owner of the house said, its the rule of thumb, if you step outside, you've been spotted by a cougar.
I'm actually pretty used to the tiredness now, its been pretty non-stop since we arrived in Seattle, and i'm just so grateful to have them home and healthy, it makes it all a lot more tolerable. At first i was so worried they would stop breathing, so their cries are like music to the ears. I definitely need my book for notes though, its easy to forget who had how much and when. A quick hair check is all i need to make sure i have the right baby.
I have to say i'm not surprised by anything that Motherhood as thrown my way so far, thats what months of internet reading will do, i expected a lot worse actually. The one thing that did come as a surprise though is how long the feedings take. I figured i could knock back 30mls in one shot, i thought a baby would take a few minutes maybe, tops. Of course now i realize that Violet still needs about 50 mls per 50 minutes. Liv is my little half hour honey.
So thats about it! dont feel bad for taking this blog off the 'must read' list, i know its a little lack lustre nowadays, but i can't say i'm unhappy about that! This predictable new schedule is a refreshing change.
