Well, the weekend has not been a disappointment in any way. Yesterday Emma was in a great mood and got some solid naps! She was very verbal at one particular point of the day, and I got some video clips of it with my digital camera. Anyone know how to add video clips to blogs? Is it possible? Wendy came over for a few hours and entertained Emma while I cleaned up the kitchen, folded some laundry, and made lunch for the two of us. Oh, what a sacrifice it was, huh, Wendy? I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but Emma LOVES her changing table. Odd, perhaps, but true. If she is upset, sometimes all it takes it to park her on the changing table and she settles right down. As Emma is a bit congested right now and has stuff rattling around in her sinuses, we set about to do "surgery" with some saline nose drops and a bulb syringe. Oh, the goobers we got out!!! And after that we just hung out at the changing table -- for probably 45 minutes, just cooing at the Peach, getting her to smile and coo back. What a good baby we've been blessed with.
Last night was church. We've decided we want to keep Emma down with us for as long as possible, but because she IS becoming more verbal, have resorted to spending the service in the Cafe, watching the tv monitors. It allowed me to stand up and rock her to sleep and to not disturb anyone the couple of times she cried out. At the end of the service I took Emma to my office to feed her, then we went out with 3 other couples to a restaurant. She was so good the entire time, and eventually fell asleep in her carseat. I know we won't be able to do that forever, so we're taking advantage of the moments right now.
Today the Peach has been a bit cranky...I think because of this congestion. She doesn't have a fever or any other symptoms, but I believe the effort of breathing is causing her to wake earlier from naps, leaving her a little grumpy. She's sleeping again right now, which is how I can be sitting here blogging. We had bath time this morning, so she's all fresh and fluffy.
Well, I've got to head downstairs and pump. Jon will have our girl tomorrow and needs to have a bottle to feed her with. Hope you all are doing well!
