so as i sit and drink my morning coffee {fully loaded :)}, listening to the dishwasher run, watch E in her swing, and see the neighbor's dog poke his head through the already broken screen door, i have to say, this is shaping up to be a GREAT DAY! it actually started last night {mom's will know what i mean}, E went down after her now routine bath at 8:30pm and {Hallelujah} slept until 1:37am, to be exact! for those mathematically challenged, like myself, that's 5, count them, F.I.V.E. hours!!! and if you thought it couldn't get any better, she fell right back asleep after eating until about 5:15am. another good stretch. figuring she'd be up for the day i braced myself to get up. all of a sudden i realize my neck is killing me. i've slept wrong and now with each turn of my head i'm in a lot of PAIN. darn you temper-pedic-pillow-top-mattress-thing-that's-supposed-to-be-awesome, you stink! but ryan loves you. i digress, struggling through the neck pain and feeding a baby was tough. i even lashed out at ryan...oops. can i get a free pass, i was {still am} in pain? after E was done eating, i thought, lets see if she will go back down. wrapping her back in her swaddling blanket and laying her back in her pack-n-play, i tip-toed slowing back to bed... she stayed still. no squirming, grunting, or crying. again, this perfect {so far today} baby fell back asleep. THANK YOU JESUS!!! {side note: thank you also for not letting today be the end of the world}.
she woke up about an hour and a half later, but that was fine with me. now, i'm rip-roaring-and-ready-to-go. i sincerely hope this will become a regular occurrence. it's a happy saturday at this house.
