Now Parenting: Week 23

Sunday: 5 hrs sleep, had Alexandra from 7:30am to 10:30am so Anne-Lise could sleep. Then weighing, and little one slept, did quizzes. Left 2:30pm to Rob/Jen's, back after 5pm. With Alexandra 6-7pm, then bath. To bed at 10pm, crib didn't work, too tired, downstairs by 11pm.

Monday: Had 6+ hrs sleep, upstairs worked okay too. Standard school plus duty. Home before 1:30pm, 45 minutes with Alexandra then she got fussy. Left before 3pm, Write-In, back after 6pm, Mom took her meds. Towards 7pm, started getting fussy, so sleep routine. Asleep 8pm but then troubles 15 minutes later. Traded off dinner, in beds before 10pm.

Tuesday: Awake before 6:30am, prepped for day including calling about car, had Alexandra for maybe 15 minutes. NOT a standard school day, after teaching needed to deal with math contest issues, plus had to create more reviews and things anyway. Home just after 4pm (Alexandra got story time at the library that day) and then with little one for three hours until after 7pm, including standard snooze and very soiled diaper. Total breakdown after, while trying to deal with school email, dinner, and the little one simultaneously. Bedtime routine had her in crib before 9pm, with a few hiccups. Downstairs after 10pm to mark quizzes and upload article.

Wednesday: Awake before 7am again (sigh), fairly standard school day (mailed math contests). To movies before 1pm for "Fantastic Beasts 2" with family, home for 4pm. Less than an hour with little one (including bottle) and she got fussy, went to breast. Back with Dad again after 7:30pm. Attempted sleep routine before 8:30pm. Took until almost 10pm to be asleep in crib and me downstairs. Crib training likely will not start tomorrow, to allow time for further research/bonding. (Once you start, 20 minutes in crib without removal, no exceptions, even in morning.)

Thursday: Seven hours sleep. O.o Awake by 6am, did work, with little one for half an hour, then standard school day with anime club. Home before 2:30pm, car was repaired, home again about 4pm. Alexandra arrived in full snooze, followed by screams at 4:45pm, only Mom could feed her. A bit of back and forth, then she was asleep at 6pm. Awake at 9pm after nail cutting, to her room. Was downstairs after 10:30pm but not immediately to sleep.

Friday: Restless sleep, PD Day, home for 1:30pm, nap. With Alexandra for 90 minutes after 3pm. Then again from 5:45 to 7pm, which would have been longer except Mom's fitness class was changed without any notice. They were asleep in the living room after 9:30pm; attempt to go to crib at 10:15pm. Everyone to bed by 11:30pm.

Saturday: Seven hours sleep included Dr. Who dream? With Alexandra for just under two hours from 7:30am. Then brunch, walk, and with her again for 90 minutes from noon. Put up outside lights before tomorrow's (freezing) rain, did grading. Parents in after 4pm with Christmas toy box, small chair, wagon. Walked to Works with Dad. They left before 9pm, more grading as little one slept with Mom. Still asleep after 11pm, rest of us getting tired.
