It was so exciting to be home again!<\/p>\n<p>She seemed to like her crib, which was good, because the alien space blanket only had a a 3-ft umbilical cord. We had to move the armchair closer to the crib just so I could move her out to feed her (Every three Hours! Or Two! or One! doctors keep telling me I&#8217;m not feeding her enough, because if I was she wouldn&#8217;t be jaundiced!)<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, she was great and stayed there all day pretty much sleeping. Chris and I ran around realizing all the things that so OBVIOUSLY had to be changed now that she was here.<\/p>\n<p>I meant to take a nap, but I didn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>So, veteran parents&#8230;you see this one coming don&#8217;t you? A classic rookie mistake.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She seemed tired, so I just let her sleep..&#8221; all <em>day<\/em> which means that all <em>night<\/em> she is not interested in sleeping.<\/p>\n<p>We had a rough night. No sleeping for anyone.<\/p>\n<p>But the good news is, at our doctor visit today they said she is not jaundiced anymore and the blanket is exorcised at last.<\/p>\n<p>Last night was rough, but we vowed to do better today. I have to keep the child awake for some periods during the day, or it wil just happen again.
