Swaddling is Critical

Amelia woke up really early this morning. She started crying and when I looked in the crib I could see that she had gotten out of her swaddler. Normally she sleeps about 9-10 hours, but anytime she breaks out of it, she wakes up early. I know I am crazy lucky to have a 4 month old baby that sleeps almost every night for 10 hours in a row. How ironic that I am up every 90 minutes to pee, huh?

In any case, she did go back to sleep after about an hour (as did I) and we both slept in pretty late. I actually wasn't too fatigued today, which was really nice. Only once did I think about laying down for a nap, and of course I couldn't because Amelia was awake and ready to play.

I had some nausea before lunch again today, but it wasn't bad. I didn't take a Compazine. I really think I would end up less sick if I would eat lunch earlier, but I never seem to have time. It's hard to eat until Amelia goes down for a nap and sometimes that isn't until 2pm. Today when I started feeling sick I ate a spoonful of peanut butter and that seemed to help.

I finally got my nails painted tonight after Amelia went to sleep. The first time I quit biting them, having them painted all the time really helped. I am hoping that helps me stop biting them again. Unfortunately, it has been so long since I painted them (since before Amelia was born) that my correction pen dried up. And my nails are so short, I really have paint on alot of the skin. They sort of look like a mess. Maybe I can get a new correction pen tomorrow or the next day. It's much easier not to bite 'pretty nails'.

If the paint doesn't work, I am going to have to try some sort of behavior modification techniques like journaling or something.

Well, it is just about midnight and I am actually tired again so I should get right to bed. If I miss my 'tired' window, I will be up till 2am again.
