I don't know what day it is, but the evening before last wasn't great. Milo had his first vomit... not spit up, but vomit episode. Basically he gagged himself trying to find his thumb... and I think that just tickled his gag reflex. We were in the car when it happened and I pretty much freaked out. That kind of sent me back down into the pits. Then we had a rough night. So yesterday was another more difficult kind of day.
However, last night Milo slept from 9 pm- 9:30 am. He was awake for about two and a half hours from 2:30-5:00 but even with that I got 9 hours of sleep! Needless to say, today has been a good day. We even got our first non-family visitor today. My friend Kendra came over with her baby girl, which was so nice. Oh and I paid bills this morning before Milo even woke up!
I'm definitely learning that lack of sleep and other anxieties trigger the blues. I'm hoping as we have more good nights, I'll be able to better handle the other stressors as they come up. Tomorrow I have my two week follow up from the C and I am meeting with my midwife just to talk about the Baby Blues I have been experiencing. I want to make sure I have all the support I need when my mom leaves. And I thought she might have some tips for dealing with the blues.
And while we knew Milo loved being outside in the warm air, I learned today that he also really enjoys the Baby Bjorn carrier. Mommy also enjoyed this. Now I cannot wait to try out my Moby wrap (Thanks Haneys!)
