Mae has been clusterfeeding in the evenings and then sleeping for 5-6 hours straight in the night. It's been soooooo nice to get at least five hours of sleep at night, even if she is fussy during the day and eats all evening long. I wouldn't trade this schedule for anything!
We looked at four houses in Worthington yesterday afternoon but didn't see any we wanted to pursue further. Boy, there are a lot of ug-LEE houses out there. We're talkin' wallpaper hell in most of them. Yuck. Today Ben's coworker told him about a house for sale in Worthington Hills that has lots of updates. She even gave him the MLS number, so he contacted Rosemary and asked her to find it. She found a bunch of houses for sale in our price range in that neighborhood and sent us the listings. I just went through them and picked a few I wanted to see. So now instead of taking a second look at two houses on Saturday, we'll be looking at five or six new ones. My head is kind of spinning from all this, but luckily I'm not dealing with the facts & figures like Rosemary and Ben are. That would just make me cry.
Sage has been kind of a butt since Ben went back to work but it's not too bad. He gets whiny and angry at me very quickly and starts to act up when I'm feeding Mae. I can usually sidetrack him or make him laugh, though, so most potentially volatile situations get diffused quickly. I try to play with him a lot while Mae naps but that's when he starts to act like a butt so I usually end up walking away. We end up watching the movie Cars a lot. Yesterday it was actually on repeat all day long, though he didn't sit in front of it for long. Ben took him to Magic Mountain last night so I could have some peace and quiet. It was a nice gesture, but of course Mae alternated between eating and fussing the whole time. She keeps falling asleep on her bottle and then waking up ten minutes later for more. The good news is that Sage loves his baby (that's what he calls her) and is very gentle with her 99% of the time. I have some cute pictures of him and her snuggling in his bed. He brought her a stuffed bunny that my aunt sent from Sweden (her version of Bunbun) so that she would be more comfortable. Cute cute cute!
Happy Turkey Day to those of you celebrating it. Have a good one!
