We had a busy but special weekend. Millie did a great job catering Paul's party. We have lots of food left over so maybe I can delay my return back to cooking by one more week. :-) My brother's Wii was a big hit with adults and kids alike. Nadia was also very popular. 
She's pictured with my dad and with her cousin, Holly, both of whom she met for the first time this weekend. The one photo below shows 4 generations.

I was worried last night would be a bad night as Nadia slept a lot 
yesterday afternoon and early evening, but we put her down at 10:15pm and she slept until 4:45am. Woohoo! I had a hard time sleeping the last part of that as I was in pain, but still I was VERY thankful! That was by far the longest she ever slept before. The previous night had been pretty good also although the longest stretch was 3 hours and 45 minutes that night. It amazes me how tired I still am even though I'm getting at least 7 hours of sleep lately and some days (like today) I still take a nap. How long will this last? When will I no longer feel so tired? I know for Lucia it was a VERY long time, but she had two babies. I wonder what it was like for
others of you who only had one baby. I also wonder when you started to feel normal emotionally. I still find myself crying rather easily these days. Well all in all it was a very nice weekend although the turkey and deer did not cooperate and my parents and brother didn't get to see them. Paul starts at PSU tomorrow so he is heading out tonight to stay at a friend's house who lives in State College. So Nadia and I will be home alone for about 72 hours. I must admit my admiration for single parents has risen tremendously. Wow. It is tough to care for a newborn by yourself 24 hours a day in my opinion. Unfortunately Nadia also doesn't like the swing so that's part of the problem. I have no where to put her for a few minutes while I go to the bathroom or something that doesn't lead to her screaming. Hopefully in time we'll find something that works for our little sweetheart.

have you tried one of the bouncers that vibrate? I know Sarah absolutely loved hers when she was a baby!!!
I know what you feel like about being alone. When Brianne was 4 1/2 months old Lee spent 4 weeks doing clinicals away from home. At least Brianne's collic was better by then. Lee has been going to school all but a year and a half of Tyler almost 6 years of life.
