Martin was at work last night, and once Dylan was in bed I just wanted to go back to being a family of three. Even if it was just for one night.
I am starting to miss my child-free nights with a guaranteed amount of sleep. Last night I really wanted to deep clean the house and highlight my hair. Instead I sat and fed Edith for two hours and didn't get anything done. I adore her, but I'm looking forward to the time when she is asleep by 7:30 like her big brother and I can have some time to myself again!
My friend Charlotte came over this morning and we had a little play date/breastfeeding support group for Beth and Dylan and the babies. We were talking about the jump from 1 to 2 kids, and how frustrating it is to breastfeed and not be able to go ANYWHERE without the baby for the first few months. I still vividly remember the first time after Dylan was born that I went somewhere without him. I walked down to the Spar shop (kind of like 7-11) and bought some OXO cubes. I felt so free. He was about 3 months old.
We've got Dylan sorted with the big bed. He's napping in it now, sleeping like a little angel. Unfortunately, I have to go change Edie's diaper. Can't wait for Martin to get home from work tonight. It was a very short night. Dylan didn't sleep very long at all. He woke up at 4:30 am and would NOT go back to sleep. It's only 1 pm and it's been the longest day of the week so far. Wish me luck!
