(And hopefully she&#8217;ll sleep until 6:30 or 7 again like she did for the last two nights.)  I&#8217;m finally feeling like a good parent, now that she has a somewhat consistent bedtime.  Plus she wakes up so much more smiley (I didn&#8217;t think that was possible), so she obviously needed more of a routine.  She&#8217;s also starting the night out in her cradle, and only moving into our bed the first time she fusses.  Not that I don&#8217;t love having her all snuggled in bed with us, but you wouldn&#8217;t believe how much room she takes up.  If I could only draw cartoons&#8230;picture a baby spread-eagle in the middle of a queen-sized bed with the parents hanging on for dear life on either edge of the bed, and that&#8217;s what it&#8217;s like to share a bed with a baby.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday was my youngest brother&#8217;s 20th birthday.  Not that I forgot, I just didn&#8217;t remember to actually blog about it.  Happy Birthday, Michael!  (Of course, the fact that he just turned 20 makes me feel <i>really<\/i> old.)<\/p>\n<p>Somehow I managed to, while shopping for a <a href=\"http:\/\/store.babycenter.com\/product\/safety_babycare\/baby_healthcare\/3564?sku=104661&#038;_requestid=59054\">pacifier medicine dispenser<\/a> that cost less than three dollars, find enough stuff to qualify for the free shipping when you spend $75.  Because, you know, that&#8217;s so much cheaper than actually paying for the shipping for the three dollar item.  I should not be allowed to shop online.  (But I can&#8217;t wait to get this box.  So many fun baby things!)<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s nothing more fun than kissing a baby&#8217;s tummy and having her giggle and grab chunks of your hair so you won&#8217;t pull away. <\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s probably enough randomness for the night.  Maybe tomorrow, if the stars align properly and Carolyn&#8217;s naps are long enough to shower, dress and eat with time left over, I&#8217;ll take a picture of my scarf-in-progress.  It&#8217;s kind of slow going, because I rarely have time to do more than a couple rows a day, but it&#8217;s <i>so<\/i> pretty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m feeling totally random tonight.
