Sleepless in Victoria
Last night was not a night I want to repeat any time soon. Poor Ethan was so tired, so he went down at 8:30 pm. He was up at 11:00 pm, I nursed him back to sleep, but he would NOT stay in his crib and cry and cry and cry. I brought him to bed with me finally, thinking I'll let him (and me) sleep for an hour or two and then I'll put him back in his own crib. I tried to do just that at 2:00 am but to no avail. He ended up sleeping with me all night (something we haven't done in months) and he seemed to wake at least every hour if not more due to needing to change position, nurse, his nose being stuffed up, or whatever. So needless to say I'm exhausted.
I tried to pump some milk (just need about an oz.) this morning as I always do (usually the taps are at their fullest in the morning) for his morning rice cereal, but because he's been suckling all night I could barely get a half ounce, both sides! So he certainly can't be hungry and I'm going to wait an extra hour until feeding him again.
In other news, I've been exchanging emails with two ladies regarding Ethan's daycare needs (weep weep) come January. One of the ladies has 10 years experience, took a year off, and as of Sept is taking kids again. She also only lives a few blocks from here. The other has 3 years experience, lives sort of out of the way (Diva - she lives near your mum) and has a full roster but MIGHT have space come January. On first impressions, its this second gal I like more based on her email responses - much more personable, and thurough in her information. Either way, I'll have to visit both places first - and I have lots of other places to check out too as its still early days in this search for daycare. I wasn't going to start doing this until September - but when somethings on my mind I always seem to feel better if I just start working on it instead of letting it wait.
On the Vic-Maui front, Kinetic is still racing and they hope to finally finish tomorrow. Lets hope so! I think they're all ready to see and feel some land (and soap!).
