the babybjorn revolution
ella is cuddled up to my chest right now and i have two hands free! momby and r. came over and we all took a walk on this gorgeous october day. the sun is shining and it's maybe sixty degrees outside. perfect day to get out. ella just slept the whole time and was so cozy. i love the babybjorn.
somehow the weekends are so much better than the week days. mostly it's just having j. home. he's such a big help. i don't feel desperate or scared when he's here, even if she's having the crying fits that lately have set in each evening around eight thirty.
last night we found ourselves dancing around the living room while j. played the violin--trying so hard to make her happy. i'm not sure why she's taken to crying so much... maybe it has to do with the spicy thai food i ate the other night?
i washed the dishes. it was a task i knew i could accomplish. much easier than getting ella to stop crying.
but we had great alert time with her today. just singing with her and talking to her and cuddling. she's so precious. she really looks around and focuses on things and studies our faces and listens so well.
it's so important for me to get out. just being outside refreshes me. i think elenora likes being outside, too. she was very used to the feeling of me walking with her while i was pregnant, so i think that the movement of us being out on a walk helps to calm her.
tonight we're going to venture out to see j. in his orchestral concert. i'm hoping that ella is happy and not crying during it. sleeping would be amazing. if it gets too bad i'll just leave and bring her home. but i need to try anyhow, because what if it's great and she's just content?
tomorrow we're going to a barbeque at a.'s house. he and his wife have a little baby of their own who is in the nursing stage, so they know what it's like. that makes it a safe outing. i need these safe outings. they keep me sane and make me feel like a normal person.
