Baby girl sleeps well in her crib (thank goodness), and is pretty much in bed by 9 every night. It's strange to be up and have her in her own room, with just the two of us in the living room ( Read more... )

Actually made dinner on time tonight, woohoo! Unfortunately the recipe could use a bit of tweaking, so it wasn't amazing...but still good and promptly served.

Feeling sleepy. Baby is having a nap with her dad, lucky duck.

Off to clean up in the kitchen...

Today I strapped the baby into her carrier and we went on a public transportation adventure out to San Francisco to visit Brandon at work. It was pretty fun. She seemed to like it fine...BART put her to sleep. :o) We ate at IHOP, which was predictably bad and overpriced, but oh, well. I still enjoyed myself, though I did have to get a chai on the ( Read more... )

Hard to believe I'm someone's mom, though the evidence is sleeping right here in front of me ( Read more... )

No baby yet - not really a big surprise, but being at the "any day now" stage seems to be making the baby's arrival seem even farther away, if that's possible! At least I have gotten some things done - such as filing my master's thesis (finally!), getting my registration sticker from the DMV, sending some cards that were long overdue...I got some ( Read more... )

So April 1 was my first official day of maternity leave from work. Unfortunately I have a couple of things remaining to finish, and I'm procrastinating a bit, so I don't really feel "free"...but I'm pretty close! Of course, I still have work to do on my research and I'm determined to file my thesis before the baby comes, so I don't get to do the ( Read more... )

It would be so nice to live in the same town as my parents and mother-in-law, to be able to pop over for lunch or dinner, or do something spontaneous that didn't involve a lot of driving. Sure, neither of them live that far away, but it's far enough.

It's another lovely day, though of course I have all the blinds closed so I'm hardly experiencing it to its fullest...I'm eating Corn Pops and trying to shake off the exhaustion I've been feeling today. Sure, I know it makes sense, with the baby soon to arrive and all, but it's also difficult when I have so much to accomplish this week. Maybe I'll ( Read more... )

So I tried the stay-up-late-reading-so-you'll-sleep-well-the-next-night trick again, and sadly it didn't work this time. Sigh. I think it was partially due to being a bit less comfortable physically last night ( Read more... )

I'm feeling perky and awake, which is definitely nice. I stayed up too late reading Saturday night, which meant I was totally exhausted yesterday - but the good news about that was that I slept quite soundly. I only had to get up once. What a treat ( Read more... )
