Tired but happy
Last night Tai slept poorly. He woke up almost every hour to nurse, which meant I woke up. At least Tom got to sleep through the night, because Tai never woke up enough to fully cry before I started nursing. I need to do something differently with his sleep schedule because waking up that many times isn't good for either one of us. He did, however, take two long naps today. Two hours in the morning and then over an hour in the afternoon. But then it took over an hour to get him down tonight.
Fortunately I got together again with Marne and Eliana this afternoon. Tai and I spent a couple of hours with them, playing with Eliana's toys, eating her food, making a mess on their kitchen floor with chewed up tofu and eggs. Marne was incredibly gracious, she didn't even let me clean up and Eliana was kind enough to ignore the fact that Tai wanted whatever toy she had, and drooled on all of it. Eliana is just three weeks younger than Tai, though she was two months premature. It's fun to hang out with another mama who has a baby almost exactly my age. We spent a lot of time talking about what they're doing and what they're eating. And we talked about how having a child has changed us and changed our relationship with our husbands. It's funny, they're having many of the same fights Tom and I do.
I really enjoy just sitting and chatting with other moms. We don't have to do anything special, we don't have to go anywhere. Just hanging out in the livingroom while our kidlets try to get into trouble is enough. When I left I felt good, full, happy, understood. We made plans to meet next Monday and I'm looking forward to it.
