Success! For the past two days I have put an awake baby in her crib for her afternoon nap, and she has fallen asleep on her own! I realize that she is only 4 weeks old, but I was worried that I would always have to hold her until she fell asleep. She slept for 4.5 hours last night also - from 4 - 8:30 am. Strangely, I feel more tired today than normal even though this was the longest stretch of continuous sleep I have gotten in the past month at least.
As I write this, I am realizing that having a baby means that most of my life is consumed by baby. Most days I find it difficult to do anything else other than taking care of my child and myself. What else fills my days? I have started reading again, mostly while I feed little Julia. I just finished "Bloodletting and Miraculous Cures" by Vincent Lam. I am working on putting our wedding photos into an album using Picaboo. We've been married for 3.5 years, so it's about time I made a wedding album! And, I have had to start cooking again. The frozen meals that I made before Julia was born have run out (sadly). I am making Southwestern Sweet Potato soup for dinner tonight. We'll see how it turns out! And of course, laundry...! I am starting to enjoy my life as a "housewife".
