well, i quit work. that's my good news. i just couldn't stand coming into the office everyday knowing that my baby was at home without me. it really sucked coming home every night and then having to put her to bed an hour later. she's just never in a good mood in the evenings anyway so that just made it worse. i would want to spend time with her but she'd be all irritable and then would spit-up and not be happy so i'd just have to give her her bath, feed her, and send her to bed. so sad. all of that combined with the fact that my company re-orged my department again and i don't have a career path here anymore. i think that it was a sign. my last day is a week from today. i'll be doing some freelance for them from home for 4 to 6 weeks but otherwise i'm done with the office. i'm happy to say that labor day weekend will be quite nice knowing that i don't have to commute again!
she loves looking at the sky
we took the peanut to prospect park this past weekend to meet up with the sassy family. the nut laid on the blanket and stared at the sky and trees and she played with her toys. i got her to laugh and giggle and, on the way home, she took a brief cat nap. it was a very nice day.
hanging with daddy
she turned 5 months yesterday and is celebrating in high baby fashion by not sleeping well, again. last night she was up every hour and wet her diaper so much that we had to change her at 4AM and she would not go back to sleep. i fed her again (had fed her at midnight) and she finally drifted off to sleep. unfortunately, my alarm went off at 6:50AM and i thought i was going to die. this morning i immediately ordered huggies overnite diapers. i'm hoping they work.
teething?
i think that she's waking constantly because 1) she's also teething. just check out that wooden ring she is always gnawing on. 2) i feed her so much before bed so that she'll sleep through the night and it just backfires on us because then she is full of more liquid that she can pee out. it's time for solids. i know we're ready.
i went to bed at 9:30PM last night. it's the earliest i've gone to bed in 3 months. it's a good thing i did due to all the wakings last night. i got in at least two good hours of sleep before she started up.
there's been little to no knitting around here. but with me quitting work, doing a little freelancing and taking care of the nut, i suspect i should be able to pick it back up again soon!
speaking of freelancing, i'll be redesigning my company website too before the end of the year with information about my skillset. keep me in mind for any blog related work!
