When I say decent, I mean 8-9 hours of uninterrupted sleep. None of these 2-3 hour naps in the afternoon, the 20 minute catnap, or even the 5 minutes of shuteye while breastfeeding. I want the sleep of yesteryear – but I guess that’ll happen…never. Actually, I’ve been managing with the chunks of sleep I’ve been getting. I suppose it could be worse, non?
I’m looking for Mango
This past Saturday was a landmark evening – S and I left Mads at home with grandma (and JC) for a SUSHI (yum!) dinner out. Yikes! I have to admit I was a tad bit apprehensive leaving my daughter (geez, My. Daughter. Can you believe that? I still can’t.) at home. Granted, we didn’t stray far for dinner, we didn’t linger at the restaurant either. It had been too long a time since we’ve been there, the sushi chefs didn’t recognize/remember us! Anyways, the mango sushi roll tasted so good. So. Good. The sake nigiri just melted in my mouth. And the Happy Together roll wasn’t too bad either – the strawberries and bananas took a getting used to, but it was quite tasty.
Schedule? What Schedule?
Mads is nearing her 1 month birthday – already?! I feel like I should have her more on a schedule, but really our days haven’t been that structured.
I’ve been writing this post for the past week…
Out and about
Like we did with Lucie, we’re taking Mads everywhere – to get her “socialized”. Starting from when she was 4 days old – yes, 4 days! – she’s been out and about. She’s been to Fort Funston and on her first visit there, was greeted by a Great Dane. She didn’t like that too much – heck, even Lucie doesn’t like it when a Great Dane greets her. The highlight of (last) week was Mads’ first trip downtown! Granted she slept in her stroller the whole time…
Meals on our friend’s wheels
Lifesavers for S & I have been the meals our friends and family have been bringing us. There are definitely moments where cooking dinner is the last thing on my mind (I haven’t even had lunch today!), especially those days S is at work – which is 4-5 days a week. We’re only in week #3 of meals and it’s greatly appreciated and like my friend Dani says, it really is one of the greatest ways to help out new parents.
Etc…
Yay – who’s excited for the season premiere of Grey’s Anatomy? I am!

I know you will find this hard to believe, but this picture of your baby lying on the dog came up in a search I did to find an image of butterhorns, like the dinner roll. I own a restaurant in Grant, NE and need a picture of a butterhorn (dinner roll) for my menu. So i put it into a google search, and up came this quite charming picture of your most beautiful baby. There. Something for the baby book.
