Getting into the groove of things

I think that we are beginning to get the hang of Lydia's sleeping schedule and the whole parenthood thing. The early morning wake-up calls weren't as bad as I thought since Trung is usually up with me, though I don't really look forward to them every night. I think once my glider and ottoman arrive, it won't be as bad. I was nursing on a chair that leaned too far back, so now I'm on the sofa in our bedroom, but that doesn't work that well either. I'll try calling the store tomorrow to see if I can get a status.

I can't believe how fast the days go by with a baby. I remember sitting around just a couple weeks ago, just looking for something to do and now, we're so busy messing with the baby or catching up on sleep that time really flies. Oh, and we've been watching the Food Network so much, which makes me wish I didn't have to eat some variation of chicken soup every day. The daily routine goes something like this: wake up 3-4 times during the night to nurse the baby, get up around 9-10ish, mess with baby all day, take an hour nap sometime during the late afternoon, sleep after nursing the baby around midnight. Once Trung goes back on Tuesday, however, it will be harder, but at least I'll still have his mom around for several more days to help cook and what not.
