Mama to the rescue last night, but we ran into a little bit of a mama emergency this morning. We are very short staffed at work and this morning they asked if I was interested in staying over a few hours to help out. Since I didn't go in until 11pm, I thought it was a good idea. I called Craig (twice) and text messaged him so we could talk about it. With no answer, I decided it must be a good sign, they must be fast asleep and me staying a bit longer shouldn't be a problem. Well that was until about 8 am when I got a text from Craig saying he just now got my message and they were running out of milk and he thought I should come home soon! Ahhhhhh, I felt so bad, I was just imagining them at home, Craig telling Kylie "it's ok, stop crying, mama is almost home...maybe she's running a little late, I know your hungry hang in there...where could your mama be, she not usually this late...what? she's working extra hours? when did she decide this? did you hear my phone ring last night?...ahh we are almost out of milk...noooooooooo" By the time I got home Auntie Melissa had come to the rescue and was rocking a sleeping Kylie while Craig caught up on a little rest. The rest of the day was a blur, I tried to sleep on and off, Craig tried to sleep (in prep for going in tonight), Melissa tried to help us out by watching Kylie and bringing her in to nurse, and poor Kylie couldn't figure out whether it was day or night, play time or nap time.
By this afternoon Kylie and I were enjoying some good play time, we read a few books, sang a few songs and practiced sitting up of course. My parents made it back home today (after a little trip to visit my brother in SF) and invited us over for a delicious dinner. After a family dinner, Craig headed to work and we started playing musical Kylie. We each took a turn trying to rock, bounce or sway the little one to sleep. None of it seemed to work, so we thought a bath might help do the trick, wrong! Instead we ended up with a tired and very mad little pumpkin. But some good mommy-and-me nursing time seemed to do the trick and she was out before we walked home.
We have an appointment for shots tomorrow :-( I hope it goes well.
More to come soon,
Natalie

| This was a few days ago, Kylie sat in the laundry basket and played with her toys while I cleaned her room. |
