2018 :: 9/52 :: Part 2

ok so i'll start this part 2 at Friday night when we got home from the hospital after giving birth to Tova! we got to leave the hospital about 945pm so we got home, got things in order for Tova to sleep in with me, and went to bed. Tova slept for 4 hours then gave me about 2 hour stretches.

Saturday my dad and brother came to visit for the morning until lunch time. trevor had so much fun with them and they got to hold Tova. otherwise, Saturday and sunday we just hung out at home with nana and grandpa peter (gpa peter left on Saturday and nana on sunday morning). Al and gpa peter fixed the water heater so we can have hot showers and baths now!! and they put a new battery in the Volkswagen.

Monday we just hung out at home. we went downstairs and Tova (in the ring sling) and I sewed while Al and Trevor painted our window trim. Trevor napped, I napped, of course Tova took lots of naps. I got a bath in. then that night we had our first outing as a family of 4 and went over to matt & Jodi's for dinner. matt made spaghetti, garlic bread and salad; it was delicious and Tova slept the whole time. then I stayed up too late watching the bachelor (show) at the same time as Jodi and got not a lot of sleep that night (2 hour stretches from Tova).

Tuesday I was super tired and Tova was pretty gassy/bubbly especially in the morning so I couldn't put her down or stop patting her or she'd cry. Trevor and Al shoveled the driveway and back patio and they ran to the store. I eventually put Tova in the ring sling where she napped so I could get some things done. then we had lunch, Trevor didn't nap but Tova napped for almost 4 hours for Al while I napped, showered and got a few other things done. it was so nice! then we did crafts/workbook, played, fed tova (when she's awake she eats every hour and always falls asleep eating), had supper, played monopoly then watched a movie before bed.

I miss trevor and our time together! I'm anxious for the time when tova is on a routine and I can spend more time with him, but i'm also trying to remember that this is my last baby and babies don't keep and she'll only be this little and newborn for a short time.
