bearshortyI've been home since Friday a week ago. The super fixed the leak upstairs but still hasn't fixed our kitchen ceiling. We keep reminding him about it with the baby and all, but he always been like this, taking forever.
Otherwise, it was a quiet week. My Mom came over Wednesday and Thursday to cook for me a bit and to help out since Bear was gone from Tuesday to Saturday. And I had my first 40 hours straight alone with the baby, which went well. Tanya was the best baby last Friday, with minimal fussiness, when I was all alone. It was very nice of her! I make pea soup last week and white bean soup yesterday and will make meatballs and green onion/egg/cucumber salad today.
We are going to the pediatrician on Wednesday, and I really need to ask if I can stop waking her up at night around 3am for her night feed. Tanya sometimes wakes up on her own to eat but lately I've been waking her up. You are supposed to not go more than 6 hours or so without feeding, but that is up to a certain weight and everyone has a different opinion on it. So I'll ask on Wednesday if we can try to just let her sleep through the whole night - which will be great for me. She did stop creaking and being noisy in her sleep that much, which lets me sleep better lately. I still feel sleepy most of the time, though, probably because of milk hormones.
Otherwise, I'm still reading Harry Potter. I've finished watching "True Blood" Season 7. It certainly felt like the last season and while the end was a bit too pat and happy and hetero-normative, I actually liked it. Those characters deserved some happiness. I can understand why many didn't like this last season, but I just enjoy the crackiness of this show and also, Eric. I will miss my summer fix. I'm watching "Gilmore Girls" on Netflix now. I haven't seen Season 7 properly, and even though it sucks in a lot of ways, I'm working my way through it.
