So, this has been even longer donkey's years, but it's been very hectic. Let me start out by saying it was wonderful to see everyone in March! I missed you guys so much, and boy does it suck to not be able to see you more often! Once a freakin' year sucks.
Julia is tremendous! She is going to be 9 months, and started crawling about 3 weeks ago. The promptly showed us she liked to stand in her crib. And outside of it too. Now she tries to stand up pulling on the sofa, pant legs, toys, EVERYTHING!!! She is also trying to walk on her own. Don't know if she'll do it SOON, but it looks like it. We are in soo much trouble. I feel like I need a coffee IV, but since I'm still nursing...I can't. She's such a wonderful handful!
It's been rough, trying to do this baby stuff, basically on my own. D's schedule sucks, and he's either on call, post-call or something. It's single parenting, really. Residency sucks Godzilla ass. Then we don't communicate, because, we're both sleep-deprived, angry etc. So we bicker when we do see each other. Finally have made the effort to find ssome alone time. Had a date, TALKED. Don't feel so horrible, nor so exhausted. He's trying to help, and I'm making sure to tell him what I need. But, really...guys! It's like talking 2 different languages sometimes:
"I'm exhausted! She woke up every hour on the hour!" MEANS "TAKE CARE OF HER, I NEED TO SLEEP!!!!"
It's not just a mood, or a simple "what do you think about that!"
Okay, it's a little over an hour since Julia went to bed, so I am going sleepy-bobos, in my jim-jams. If not, I will get NO SLEEP! We're back to 5 hours the longest stretch. So that means I can get 4 now. How I long for another night of 8 hours solid sleep. Not since teething began.
*hugs* Love you and I'll be back before another 5 months pass!
