Day 25

Luciana and Mama had a loooong and frustrating night! I should add Daddy, too, because even though I have to nurse her, Daddy is woken by the screaming, and all the movement that comes from diaper changes, nursing, swaddling, and shushing baby girl to sleep. He is a sweet Daddy to stay with us in bed when (on work nights) he should be on the couch! :) We hope Luciana is sleeping as well as her big sister soon. 

Today we had a bit of quiet time while Mana took Penelope to the park to play. Those mornings when Daddy or Gayle have P are nice for us, we usually need the extra sleep on rough nights. Sometimes (while Luciana sleeps) I'll do some embroidery, catch up on trashy reality shows or clean the nonstop mess in the house. :) We also ran over to Albertson's & TJ Maxx this afternoon, and here's how we maneuvered around the shops:

Penelope in front, and Luciana in back (in her Carseat) all snug and covered with a blanket. Not bad! :)

Tonight we are hoping for a couple 2-3 hour blocks of sleep... Fingers crossed! Here a pic of our angel halfway asleep in her basket while P ran around this evening... Basically, she's oblivious to that noise, thank goodness! Goodnight.
