Turns out Grandpa, Uncle and Grandma all have colds. I'm getting a glimpse into what it's like to do this alone, although Grandma still brought by groceries and food tonight. Not really that hard up after all.
Still hoping for a Wonderful Wednesday tomorrow!

Less Sick and Tired
Grandpa Dickie brought groceries and food and sat with Sylvia for a while yesterday too.
Grandma Miriam brought more food and held Sylvia; they had a very stimulating conversation, even if it was a bit one-sided.
Today more groceries and food from Grandma. Dan has been sleeping in the basement bedroom, eating crackers and drinking ginger ale. I've been doing the baby thing, napping a little and feeling more human. Hopefully tomorrow will feel even better.

Sick and Tired
Three nights ago I was losing it because of exhaustion. I couldn't form sentences in my head, much less through my mouth, and I felt like I would never catch up on my sleep. Ever.
Dan did a great job of baby duty so I could sleep...at least try. Sylvia decided it would be fun to stay awake in the middle of the night, and so I was awake too.
Two nights ago Dan woke up with gastrointestinal armageddon; I was not only awake with Sylvia for her usual feedings & rocking to sleep, but I also did Dan's diaper duty and was awake helping Dan deal with his own malaise for a few hours.
Tonight I'm running on fumes, but feeling more sane after Uncle Josh came over and minded the baby for a few hours so Dan could sleep and I could attempt to sleep - despite earplugs and the radio set to static (in an effort to keep me from hearing Sylvia - if she's anywhere in earshot and even slightly fussy, I'm awake...the magic of survival instincts at work) I could not sleep. Lying down for a couple of hours helped though.
Now she's slumbering at 11pm, Dan is feeling slightly better and is in bed, and I'm on my way to brush my teeth and put on my jammies - hopefully I'll board the Nighttime Train to Sleepville.
