Better Day

Quick post while I have both hands!

HUGE thank you to everyone on here who gave me some great suggestions and support. Emily & Jess, I've been drinking more and the headache is gone! Feeling much better. We tried the miracle blanket and re-tried the wrap, and she's doing better. I've also been eating better, which has helped.

To my friend Mary in Cincy -- we finally watched "The Happiest Baby" DVD you sent us and THANK YOU! OMG, seriously? Totally worked. I mean, we were already doing the "shushing" and swaddling part, but the other stuff was amazing. We bypassed most of the 10:30 screaming fit she usually has. Mommy actually got about 5 hours of sleep (all together) last night.

We went for a walk today! Yes, Mommy has *finally* figured out the stroller. So we put on the little hat and mittens that Mims sent us, got bundled up, and Mommy & Emma went for a walk. The sun is kind of shining and it's not horribly cold (36 degrees). We walked for 30 minutes and came home for her lunch. It felt SO good to get fresh air and be outside, and Mommy's mood is muchly improved!

We toured one daycare yesterday, and hopefully will have another one to tour tomorrow when I can get that scheduled. It wasn't as bad as I was thinking in my head, so even though it's costly, Mommy thinks it'll be ok. AND they had openings. *whew*

Ok.... someone wants to walk around (she's in the wrap against my chest right now), so I'm going to do that. But again... thank you, everyone! I can't tell you how much it helps to hear the experienced Mommy advice!
