I don't want to look homeless


So...I just finished curling my hair. It is almost 1:00am. I have my reasons. My sweet daughter is asleep right now but she should be waking up soon. Once she is awake she will not go back to sleep until about 4:00am. She usually sleeps until 7:30am and then she will be awake until about 2:00pm. So...if I don't curl my hair now it might never escape the elastic band that is usually holding it together. I start sleeping when Campbells 4am shift starts. I then awake 3½ hours later and don't get another chance to sleep until 2pm. There is a window of opportunity to leave the house but I never do because when I could get ready I would much rather sleep. I have a problem going out in public if I look like a homeless person. I know it seems vain but this after prego body doesn't do anything for my self-esteem. This is probably hard to follow so you don't need to try. The moral of the story is that if I do my hair now there is a good chance I will get out of this dark basement. I miss the sun.

A few things I've learned about my baby...

It's so interesting to watch this little personality unfold in front of me. Campbell is such a funny little girl already. When she is really drowsy her arms kind of lose control and she hits herself in the face. She gets really mad because it startles her and she bursts into tears. Campbell likes her little feet rubbed. I don't plan on spoiling her with this one. It is helpful when she is half asleep and I need her to be completely asleep. She likes to see what is going on around her. When she is crying I will turn her around so that her back is touching my belly and that seems to do the trick. She likes her little bum patted. The combination of singing and the bum pat usually calms her down. I didn't realize how many primary songs I've forgotten the lyrics to. When I run out of primary songs to sing I usually end up fumbling through the chorus of pop songs. Nothing too recent because I am no longer hip when it comes to music. At one time I felt like I was in the know(like 4 years ago). Any who... It's fun to watch my little one grow.
