4 daze and counting...

This may be a short post, since it's late and I have become like an old lady when it comes to bedtime.  I dunno, I should maybe give myself more credit than that.  I'm up at 6:30 AM, hit an afternoon slump, drink an XS energy drink and make it through.  Thursdays are our long days, because we have a weekly business meeting to attend, so I also popped an all natural, Nutrilite energy supplement called "rhodiola."  That has majorly kicked in so I am pretty wide awake at ten minutes til tomorrow.  It pays to represent a vitamin company that markets such great energy products...both literally and figuratively :-)

In short, it was a regular day.  Baby 1 is still working on taking a bottle, and today I had success feeding her with a little medicine dropper.  It's cute, but a little tedious.  I'm just glad I can feed her.

Honestly, it's not difficult work, but it is taxing.  Does that make sense?  Like, changing a diaper is not difficult to do.  Feeding a baby a bottle is not (supposed to be) difficult. Rocking a baby to sleep is not hard. Playing with a baby and talking to them is fun!  It's just that it is constant, all day long, with minimal breaks or time for yourself.  There are little tasks like the cleaning along the way, or preparing bottles, the mental activity of figuring out why the baby might be crying and dealing with the stress of listening to the babies' cries.  I still enjoy it, love it even.  It is so much easier in some ways than other jobs I've had.  The decrease in my stress level is A-mazing.  But I guess at the end of the day, it's still work.  But perhaps it wouldn't be as rewarding if it weren't. 

Tomorrow completes my first full week!  Next week, I will have one baby on monday, two tuesday and wednesday (all day now) and one baby on thursday.  Taking friday off to head out of town on business.  Hoping I will win the ebay auction on a rocking chair glider for the nursery!  Saturday ends the auction, will drive to Ohio on Sunday to pick it up.  It will all be worth the incredible deal that I am getting on it and the relief to my back and the privacy for nursing mothers that it will provide.

Getting sleepy...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
