A Rough Day

Well, today was a rough day for Miss Emma. All told, she only slept for an hour and a half, and an hour of that was from 3:30-4:30 pm. I peeked in on her a few times, and the last time, at 3:00, she was crying hard - face beet red and tears on her face. My heart broke to see her like that, knowing full well it was because she was so completely exhausted. Mommy to the rescue! After a diaper change and being snuggled in her blanket, we popped in the pacifier and took a stroll through the halls of the church. Within 2 minutes her eyes were closed and all was right with the world. Poor thing just got overstimulated today. I wonder how long it will take for her to adjust to the new environment. She's sleeping now -- for almost an hour.
Tomorrow is bath day again...one of my most favorite things to do with Emma. Not sure why -- she doesn't play in the tub yet or even get animated while being bathed. Maybe it's because of the end result - nice fluffy hair, soft skin, and that fresh sweet baby smell. I always just want to cuddle with her afterward and smother her chubby cheeks with kisses! I'm looking forward to it already.
To a new day...

Rough day, but did she sleep the night?...or did you both have an interrupted night?

She did pretty well but woke around 4:30, got her diaper changed and ate a little. I was headed back to bed by 4:47.
