First Night in the... Crib?

Well Tristan slept really well in his crib until about 11pm (3 hours after we put him down). This is very typical for him. I nursed him and he went right back to sleep. 2am rolls around and I can hear him waking up again... another 3 hours, again very typical for him. I decided to wait it out until he got really fussy to see if he'd go back to sleep. He did! Or at least I think he did because I honestly feel like last night was a big blur. I can't remember if I went and got him at 2am and put him back in our room (for my own comfort) or if he went back to sleep until 4am. I am almost positive he went back to sleep until 4am and then I brought him back to our room because I don't recall nursing twice and I definitely remember feeling very "full" when I finally did feed him. So... then he slept from 4-6 and then 6:30-8:30. I really do think his sleeping has a lot to do with that tiny playpen. All in all I think the night was pretty successful. Once I get a chair in his room everything will be so much better! I nursed on the floor with my back to his closet at 11 last night... not too fun. That's how I was feeding him for that entire week when we were moving out, though so it was OK. Thankfully since he's older he eats a whole lot faster!

Thats good that Tristan is nursing fast already! Ember just recently started nursing 5 minutes on each side. She is super fast & efficient. I think she is just a huge comfort nurser a lot of the time. Lately she'll nurse real quick so she can play,haha.

Nursing on the floor would not be fun!My back would go out! I have nursed in every way possible though. One time I had to nurse Ember standing up,which was kind of funny....I am sure this is way more info then anyone wants to hear haha.

I've had to nurse standing before... even while walking. Before Josh got back I would nurse while eating dinner or cooking, while reading Noah his bedtime story or bathtime. I think that's why Tristan's new "easily distracted" phase is so frustrating sometimes! I used to be able to do laundry while nursing, now I have to just sit there in the quiet darkness haha. I still prefer nursing to a bottle! I think it's more convenient in many ways.

I totally agree it's convenient. I am so proud of you:) You have really done a wonderful job and have gone through a lot already. I remember before you had Tristan you were worried about being able to nurse with a wild toddler around :) Tristan will grow out of the distracted stage all of a sudden then it will be easier & less boring again,haha.You are almost to your goal(Yay!) and I'm sure you'll end up going right past it!

Very bad day today

I got a horrible phone call early this morning from someone I used to work with. A friend of mine, who was stationed in Iraq, was killed yesterday in her sleep when her trailer was hit. SGT Trista Moretti was an amazing person. She had an impact on so many lives in so many places. It's going to be tough for everyone (like me) who can't make it to Jersey to say goodbye. I've been crying off and on all damn day. It seems so unfair. I hate this war and don't agree with it, but I don't think she died in vain. She died for everyone else out there. They fight for each other, not a cause, not their government. That's what I miss about the Army. I miss my comrades. Trista was hilarious and beautiful and had this great Jersey accent. We used to play word games and gossip and eat lunch together every day. We would laugh all day long while we "worked" haha. I remember when she first got to the unit I told everyone some bitchy chick with an accent was in the...

Hurricane Sandy

This will be a gleefully uneventful post, but I thought I should at least inform everyone of our whereabouts during Frankenstorm. On Friday the landfall predictions were further south, which had the eye passing near our tiny town after obliterating Dover, DE.  We happen to be surrounded by water.  The Patuxent River on one side, Chesapeake Bay on the other, plenty of swamps and creeks in between.  Not a good prospect. Josh and I had gone out that night to try and secure supplies and already, there were no batteries or flashlights.  We also don't have a grill and thought "we'll try Lowe's tomorrow"I mean, most people already own grills... right?  Everything in our house is run on electricity (including the water pump for the well) except for the fireplace.  I don't know what builders are thinking when they do that.  I at least want a gas stove and water heater!  So, anyways.  We got a few hours of sleep before trying to brave the crowds...

Hiking on the Guadarrama Trail

As promised yesterday, I actually left the house and went on a hike with Mama C and Goober!  YAY! I was a bad Mommy and ill prepared to shield us from the hot Spanish sun so we all have a touch of sunburn.  Whoops.  It was fun though.  OK so here's where we began our journey.  You can see the bridge between the roundabout and the little house with a red roof (which is a restaurant).  All the cylindrical buildings were a plant nursery.  We walked over the bridge and past the nursery where we crossed the street and then started up the dirt path.  The other little building is literally a Gypsy Keep. Here's what it looked like from the road... and it was so ridiculously creepy, yet fascinating.  I don't know why there is always tons of junk in trees around gypsy places.  There was a gutted van in the backyard, a stroller jammed into a wall, shorts in the trees.  We both wanted to trespass, but the kids would have inevitably fal...
