Freak accident, or happy nights coming?

I had to write about this! My daughter C, slept thru the night both on Friday and Sunday night! Ok, so she skipped Saturday, but what can I say, she is only 3 months old! Even if you are not a parent yourself, I am sure you understand my excitement for a full night sleep. Counting the uncomfortable last 3 months of the pregnancy, I have not had a decent, more than 4 hours stretch night sleep! And, yeah, I admit, if I am cranky, everyone get cranky!
So I am praying with all my might that she is finally getting to the point where 3am feedings will be a thing of the past!
Cheers!

Sort of random

Sometimes I have a hard time sleeping. Usually when I am very tired, which seams to be my normal state of being lately! So while I stay in bed and pray for sleep to come (knowing very well that I will heavily pay for my inability to fall asleep in just few hours when C decides she would like some food!), my mind spins. Last night, I was thinking that I have to do C's laundry. And then for some reason I started thinking of all the things you are supposed to pun on her mattress. So let's see:
1. The mattress protector. So that when she has accidents she does not wet the mattress. Mind you, she does wear a diaper...all the time, so accidents... not so much!
2. mattress pad. Not sure why and what this might do, but if you look at baby registries you have to get one!
3.the sheets. Ok, I get this one since you don't want to sleep on a bear mattress
4. a sheet protector. I understand that changing sheets is not fun (especially at 2am!), but really? Something will get ruined. Does it really matter if it's the mattress protector, the sheet or the sheet protector? If it's really bad, you have to replace it anyhow...!

I don't get it. But it's so easy to get caught up in all this craziness of getting everything under the sun for your child. So if you see me getting to that point, please smack me over the head and remind me that college is expensive!

What can you do in one minute?

As my life has become more and more hectic with a 2 months old at home, I realize that I have learned to do things quicker. Some are great, others not so great, but here is a list of things that I have learned to do in one minute flat!
1. eat lunch (hard to believe, but totally doable when the child screams bloody murder for no reason!)
2. wash 2 plates and 2 mugs (using lots more dish detergent than I used to, but none the less the dishes are done!)
3. fall asleep! This one is a given when you are sleep deprived
4. take a shower! Granted there will be no conditioner used, or exfoliate, or anything else fancy. Just plain soap and water
5. find the "lost, under the couch, the cat stole it" pacifier.

I am sure there are many other things I have learned to do in one minute. But my brain is way too fried from not enough sleep to think of some more.

Cheers!
