Now Parenting: Week 21

Sunday: Went downstairs at 12:30am. A five hour sleep set? Included dream of BTTF where Doc had missed cable on tree, leading to timeline where he warns himself of it and fixes things... also car was plugged in to fly? Cries at 6:15am (actually 5:15am) due to saline. With her for 2.5 hours from after 8am. Then grading, then to NaNo WriteIn for a couple hours (including a word sprint of 200 before 3pm). Bath time at 6:30pm had tears. Did the new crib routine but after 9pm. In bed before 11pm. Saline/nose issues shortly thereafter.

Monday: Up at some point, then at 5am, then 6am. Since it was like 7am anyway, did grading. Regular school day, with little one for 90 minutes, back out at 3:45pm for math meeting. Returned after 6:30pm, Alexandra still asleep, bottle and play before 8pm, then in crib by 9pm. Some grading, a bit of writing, also student emails. Downstairs for sleep, midnight-ish.

Tuesday: Awake 6am, played with Alexandra for close to an hour before heading out. School day included staff meeting, home about 5:30pm. Anne-Lise was sick. Took little one out for a drive about 6:15pm. She slept 6:30pm to 9:30pm, graded papers in car with soothing CD music, have headache. Then she slept again with Mom, so of course was awake at 11pm. Tried a routine before 11:30pm. Hah. Gave up after 12:30am, I went downstairs.

Wednesday: Five straight hours of sleep, apparently, and everyone else was asleep at 6:15am (but up an hour later). School, with duty, not well enough for yoga, home after 1:30pm. 100 minutes with Alexandra, including standard snooze (guess she still can fall asleep in my arms). Then I conked out for an hour. Left for dad play group after 5:30pm, there until a bit before 7pm, asleep on the way home. Awake before 8pm to attempt crib, success before 9pm, breathing issues due to cold 10:15-10:45pm. Downstairs.

Thursday: Woke to alarm, weird (was up around 5am). School, home before 2pm, glued blind, cleaned dishes, lay down, couldn't fall asleep. Others home 4pm, gave bottle at 4:30pm when Alexandra awoke, some back and forth until she was getting tired at 7pm, attempted sleep routine. Worked by 8pm, though bottles necessary after 9pm, and soother at 11pm. Downstairs.

Friday: School, remembrance assembly, anime club, home with Alexandra after 1:30pm. Ninety minutes included a standard snooze. Then back and forth a bit as little one fussed, lunch/dinner was made, attempted more play after 6pm but ended up with Mom. Was OUT for over three hours. To bed after 10pm but with normal routine of story time. Downstairs around midnight.

Saturday: A couple hours with Alexandra after 7am. Brunch (snow still on the grass), failed shopping, then over a half hour of crying that I couldn't fix... followed by 90 minutes asleep (crying takes a lot out of you). Then I went out to deal with the eavestroughs for 90 minutes. 5pm was my first break of the day. Little one strangely asleep until 7:30pm; slightly bumpy trip to crib, but read numbers book, watched over for 15 minutes after 9pm. Then dinner. Plan is to sleep upstairs.
