Testing the sleep process

So we’re staying at the brother-in-law’s house to enjoy the basketball tournament… And that means we’re testing the sleep ability of Jordan. Cam never slept well in other houses when he moved into the long-stretch of sleep phase of his baby-hood. So now we’ll see how the girl does. She did not like going to bed tonight in a way that wasn’t our normal music, low lighting, warm and fuzzy bed time. I tried to recreate it, but it wasn’t the same. Oh… And her bassinet is on top of a washer and dryer. Yeah. So she’s breathing a light fume of fabric softener all night.

I took her to Babies R Us. I love that store. And I bought more dresses for her. I can’t stop. I haven’t bought new clothes for myself (other than a few breastfeeding tops) in years. But I can’t stop buying kid clothes. It’s too sweet and fun.

You know the strangest thing about blogging about your life? When you find out how many people read it. I’d say I get at least 50 hits a day on Jordan’s blog. That means there are 50 or fewer people who keep up with my life. And I’ve noticed that means a lot of my conversations go like this: “You know the other day Jordan did (insert story here)…” The person I’m talking to says: “Oh yeah, I know. I read your blog.” It’s like I have to have a few side stories that don’t make it on the blog so I can have conversations with my friends and acquaintances.
