Frazzled

Yesterday was the first day I thought would never end. I seriously almost cried because Kailey was upset and crying most of the day. I think she was fine in the morning and as the day went on she got more and more tired and never took a nap making things worse. The only time she would give me smiles is when she was on the changing table. Not only that, she wanted to eat every hour and a half to two hours. That hasn't happened since right after she was born. I put her in the bouncer in the bathroom and got in the shower. She calmed down and I think she started to sleep. I was about to look out the curtain to make sure, but when I set the conditioner down the bottle slipped of the ledge and slammed into the bottom of the tub. That was it. She was screaming and screaming and I couldn't console her. I got out of the shower, wrapped myself up in a towel, took her in our room and laid her on our bed. She passed out almost immediately. I got dressed and stood there staring at her. "Should I pick her up or leave her there?" I decided not to leave her on the bed. As soon as I picked the stinker up she was screaming again. We walked down stairs and somehow she relaxed and fell asleep. I just laid down on the couch with her on my chest and took a nap. I needed one just as much as she did. I was exhausted. We probably slept for a good two hours.  Thankfully she was good last night and slept awesome. We went to bed at 9 because Nick had been up since 3:30AM because he went hunting and I was just tired. She woke up to eat at 11:30 and again at 3 and not again until 7.....thank goodness! And today, well it's another day, and nothing like yesterday.

I took Kailey in the bath with me tonight. She absolutely loved it. Usually we bathe her in the kitchen sink but I had to shower from going to the gym anyways. It was the first time she was submerged in any amount of water. I held onto her near her shoulders and head and then she just kicked away. I kept asking her where she was off to. She got so excited it looked like she would explode with excitement. I think it's safe to say it may be one of her favorite things, and mine too. I'm hoping she will sleep good tonight, not that she doesn't already.

I turned in my resume for a yoga teaching position. I hope to hear back from them soon. I will probably call to follow up on it on Monday. I'm pretty nervous to teach but can't wait at the same time.

  1. Glad to see you turned in your resume! You'll be a great candidate.

    Sounds like Kailey is going to be a philosopher-swimmer. :)
