I think it could be scientifically proven...

that the sky is bluer when you get more than four hours of sleep. Honestly. It's just fabulous.

The night before last I got maybe 2-3 hours total and was HURTING yesterday, to say the least. I was sitting/sleeping while sitting up at the dinner table last night and two thoughts ran through my head...

1. im never, ever getting sleep again.

2. i would like to never, ever work again.

i never thought id say that, but i kinda mean it right now. and this is coming from someone who loves her profession. i really do. but im so sleep deprived that it makes working normal human hours seem completely unreasonable.

although, i must say last night, the sleep situation was better. this morning, i even woke up because i wanted to, instead of having to because Chloe was hungry and crying. i showered (thanks to chloe's obsession with sleeping during the day) and i felt like a human today. hopefully this continues, as she is currently sleeping 3-4 hours between feedings. this is up from 2-3 hours and MAN that extra hour is GOLDEN. here's to hoping that continues.

as for chloe- still adorable. so far, we're learning each other (or i'm taking time to learn her, at least. not so much on her end...rude).

likes:
-the hair dryer (obsessed, actually)
-having me stroke her face with my hair (again, obsessed) it's hilarious.
-latching onto my breast like a hungry shark
-getting her hair washed
-sleeping on our chests
-throwing up on mommy at inconvenient times
-christmas tree lights
-driving in the car (as long as you dont STOP)

dislikes:
-getting her diaper changed
-changing clothes
-being reswaddled in the middle of the night
-not being held EVERY WAKING MOMENT (we're working on this one)
-getting strapped into her carseat
-mommy's singing voice


she's quite the little character and is truly a happy baby most of the time. she rarely cries, which means when she does--it sends us into a whirlwind of emotion. in fact, it makes me cry everytime she cries her real tears. i literally will do anything to make them stop. hopefully she never reads this b/c most likely, this will always be true.

okay, time to go. she's been sleeping on my chest as i type and she's apparently all done. which means i'm all done (for now).

here is the latest of the cute pictures...

first sponge bath. saying she was 'not a fan' is an understatement.

after the bath. better but still angry.

peace, erin
