Ugh! It took freaking FOREVER to get Olivia to sleep tonight when all I wanted to do was watch Grey's Anatomy. I seriously felt like I was about to have a temper tantrum. I just wanted to yell and stomp my feet because I wasn't getting my way, but instead, I'm bitching to you, which is by far the more mature choice. I'm just sleep-deprived after getting up 30, yes THIRTY, times last night with Olivia-- sometimes every 10 minutes. She was so restless. She didn't really fuss, so I didn't think she was in pain, so I didn't give her anything. Then, this morning, she grinned at me and I spotted two new arrivals. I learned a lesson: when in doubt, give her IB Profin. Usually, I have a lot of patients, and it's amazing that even when you're frustrated, you're never mad at your child. Tonight, I just needed so down time . . .
It's really sad about Anna Nicole Smith. She has a baby girl, and with all the controversy over the paternity and the question if she's even legally married, I just hope that little girl ends up with someone loving to raise her. I'm curious as to the cause of death. To tell you the truth, I'm not even sure why this is such a big story. People die every day, and it's sad, but I'd rather hear about someone who tried to change to world, like Steve Irwin, than someone who was famous for big boobs and marrying an old man for his money. I don't want to speak badly of someone who's dead, but there are so many other important issues out there and we'll be hearing about this story for months. It also made think about what would happen to Olivia if we died. We don't have a will, but we agree my mom and dad would get Olivia. I guess it's important that we make our decision legal. What about you? Do you have a will?? Does it include where your children would go if you died?
Well, it's off to bed with me. I have stroller exercise in the morning. I need to walk off all the buttercream icing I've eaten. I love b-day cake!!!
We keep meaning to get our will sorted out - or at least get one - but somehow we keep forgetting. It feels wierd to do. I know me MUST and I'm terrified of something happening to us. We're both agreed the Bubby goes to my mom - and I still want to legalise that - but still the thought terrifies me. We'll definitely get something on paper and notorized before we step on that plane to Australia that's for sure!
Posted by: Valkyrie at February 9, 2007 12:13 AMI don't have a will either - but I also don't have any dependants and really nothing that my family would fight over. :) It is something though that I have thought about time and time again but one of those things I always put off.
Posted by: Trace at February 9, 2007 01:39 AMwills are so important. my dad is a tax atty and deals with that kind of stuff every day. joe and i are planning on getting one now and definitely update it when we have a baby.
Posted by: cady at February 9, 2007 09:28 AMDid you ever get to watch Greys?? If not, email me and I will give you a full update, I'm really good at summarizing them =) The ladies I work with love it. They are nuts!
Olivia will learn one day how great sleep is, and then you will get your much needed sleep! I feel your pain though, Anna was a bad sleeper til she was one and then BAM it just hit her that sleeping was great!
Posted by: Sara at February 9, 2007 10:04 AMI feel so sad for that little girl too. I truly hope she finds a GOOD and stable home with people that will love her and take care of her.

DVR has been a wonderful thing for me & putting DD down!! I no longer feel that "pressure" looming over me. I wish we had gotten it sooner!!
