Day 1 Down

Today wasn't so bad really.

Put Aria down at 7 last night and she wouldn't stop spitting her paci out and then crying for it. So I let her cry for thirty minutes and when she didn't stop I went in her room, gave her the nuk and she sucked it up and fell asleep until 11. I nursed her and put her back down and she slept until 2, then 5, then 6:30. I wanted to get up at 7. So it wasn't all that bad.

I had Spanish in the morning and a lot of my classmates were in my class last semester and the last they saw me, I was 40 weeks prego. They were all asking to see pics of babe and I felt like a failure because I haven't any recent ones on my phone! Oh well.

Class went well. I remembered a lot more than I thought I would and I think if I work somewhat hard I should be assured an "A".

The break between that class and my anatomy class almost did me in. Came home nursed aria and ate lunch then we played until 1 and I nursed her again and put her down for a nap and left for class. Exhausted fails to describe my energy levels at that point. I picked up again once I got to class, though. Thank goodness.

This teacher is awesome. He works hard to help his students understand the material. He seems like the kind of professor who actually enjoys it when his students succeed! Again, if I work hard here and do all the reading I should be able to get an "A"

Got home around 5:20 and at this point it had been about 4 hours since Aria had nursed. She was pretty cranky but calmed as soon as she saw me. Then I went grocery shopping and got stung by a bee that was on the handle of the cart. I felt pretty sad for him when I retracted my hand at the sting and saw a dying bee in my palm. :-(

Put Zoot scoot to bed and then made Mary's delicious faux fried chicken with some potatoes for supper and imbibed a tall glass of red wine!

Tried to pump just now and only got 2 ozs... Better than nothing I suppose.

At my Post-partum check-up, I had abnormal cells on my papsmear and I go in tomorrow morning at 9 for a biopsy. Joy.

And in the afternoon I've got bellydancing. I hope it's a fun class and a fun way to wind down at the end of the week.

Saturday is Autumn's (Brian's OTHER daughter ;-) ) birthday party. That should be interesting. I've met all of them a few times now and I feel exponentially better with each visit.

I never thought I would think this but I actually feel a lot of love for Autumn. So crazy the situations we find ourselves facing in our strange existences! In the grand scheme of things my life could surely be much stranger!

I'm meeting Brian's parents for the first time, though... Might be kind of awkward, introducing them to Aria a bit late :P Oh well, it is what it is.
