Target

Today I took Emma out to her first place...other than the doctor's office. We went to Target to pick up a few things. I put her in the sling, and she slept through it. I will be glad when she's old enough to take out everywhere, because I'm getting bored at home all day. Although it's hard logistically to go places with her...I have to plan the perfect time between feedings. Too soon after a feeding and she'll spit up her meal; too long and she'll be hungry again and thus fussy. She's hungry all the time and has started eating more, so I know she's growing. She also wakes up more often at night to eat, which is a downside, but I'm happy she's getting bigger. Tonight is Nick's night to get up with her, so hopefully I can get some sleep. It was Nick's idea to alternate nights, though I think he might be rethinking it now. The spitting up seems to be getting a lot better, and Emma seems to be much happier. As long as she's eating, that is. She sleeps, wakes up to have her diaper changed, and eats. She is awake a little more now, but the past couple of days she has only beein interested in eating and sleeping. Which I've read are all indicative of a growth spurt. Hopefully I'm getting the hang of the whole mom thing. I'm definitely good at doing things one-handed...and also laundry. Who knew we could have so much laundry?
