Things Get Better, Things Get Worse
I am starting to find downtimes here and there for me to take care of myself. A ten minute nap here. A few minutes to check email there. It all works out in little ways. I'm still up at night for some godawful reason, not just to feed Bambina, which is not a big deal. But I'm up because...she's in my space! Good lord. Husbandido and I are crashing on a double sized futon mat, and he gets his alloted space (big cause dude has big shoulders), and Bambina gets her space (and it's not that much but she does require at least a foot so she can flail about), and I get the leftover space, which often has me up against the coffee table. Nice!
Here's a conversation we had Sunday morning:
Husbandido: "She slept all night?"
Me: "No, but YOU did."
Bastard. j/k. I tried waking him up so he can scoot over so I don't have to spoon with the coffee table leg, but it didn't work.
Thankfully I got to hop in the shower today. I know, it sounds gross, but I have to make sure someone has her and that she's been fed so I can duck away for a good long take me away Shower. So wonderful. And then there's Husbandido who is stuck with Bambina and ready to hand her over to me, fresh out of the shower and just barely refreshed. Okay, so much for that.
Okay...someone's heard me typing away and now requires my assistance. BTW, the milk truck is now the milk supertanker thanks to some lactation tea. Wow.
Voodoo

After Gary went back to work after three weeks and I was left to my lonesome, I discovered something that placated Ayden enough for me to hop in the shower for five minutes - the swing!! That thing was my 'second' babysitter...loved it.

When Tootles was super tiny and I would get in the shower...I would place him in his chair and just talk to him and peek my head out every once in a while =0) I think just the noise of the water running and Mommy's wet face going in-and-out was entertainment enough.
Then when he got a little older, he would be in his jumper with Cheerios, my sister on speaker talking to him - ha ha ha! Lame, I know. But it worked!
