My poor mother is so ready to go back to Philly where she can plant her flowers and drive familiar roads. She's been pretty much stuck in my house for 3 weeks straight. I've been stuck, too, but I guess it's different because it's my house. I'm getting a little antsy, as well. I'm contemplating breaking the 4 week "rule" and going to the mall tomorrow with the little one and grandmom. The weather has been so crappy here, so we can't even go for a walk outside.
The baby is sleeping better at night these days... a full 3 hours between feedings :) Unfortunately, over the past couple days it was every 2 hours during the day. Since it takes nearly an hour to feed her, I feel like that's all I do. That and change her diapers- she goes through so many every day. Mostly, it's because she "wastes" them by peeing or pooping as soon as I get a fresh one on her. I wish I could just let her go naked for a while because she's showing signes of diaper rash, but I know I would just have poop and pee all over the place. By the way, Aquaphor is great for diaper rash!
I decided to sign up for an online DVD rental service. The boredom and loneliness during the middle of the night feedings (and sometimes during the day) is unbearable at times. I just finished watching a Korean mini-series (All In) and watching Gone With the Wind. I guess I could keep watching the DVDs that we own, but there's only so many times I can watch a movie (usually just once.) I'm going to do the 2 week trials for both Netflix and Blockbuster and see which one is better.
