Since last I blogged:
- Jane tried solids-very dilute rice cereal with breastmilk- with limited success.
- Eric went back to school on Tuesday. That glazed, distracted look in his eyes has returned, (which is different from my glazed and distracted look) I'm told his is a chronic condition called Juris Preoccupo (Law Preoccupation).
- Marcee got tired.
- And then there were two: it's just me and Jane all day everyday! Someday my husband will return. It was so nice to have him home...and even a little nice to have him not at home ;-) One of the great mysteries of life...
- Marcee got more tired.
- Jane stopped sleeping through the night...this is quite hilarious with a little insider info: Eric and I decided that while he was in school, I would do all the night duty and let him sleep since he needs his brain for school (and mothers don't need brains, obviously ;-) BUT the second finals were over, he'd take over night duty. Well, guess who started sleeping through the night just days after finals were over? And guess who started waking up again just days after school started again? Yep, it's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife.
- Marcee got more tireder.
- Jane picked up two additional feedings during the day (and don't forget that night feeding!) and is nursing longer at each feeding.
- Marcee got hungrier....do you know where this is going yet? Have you been following the clues!?!
You guessed it Sherlock-
- Jane started solids for real, for real--bananas and rice cereal--with huge success!
How do I know? She's sleeping through the night again! (Knock on wood) Poor hungry critter, that milk diet couldn't keep up with her. What a difference a week makes!
- Oh, and I FINALLY finished Jane's bumper pads for her crib. Her nursery is on the very brink of being cute. But, more on that later.

Man, I am such a sucker, I totally thought you were going to say you're pregnant again. Hooray for sleeping through the night!
Yay for Jane eating solids! I've decided that we need to get Tucker eating them too. Last night at dinner he kept going towards our plates with a wide open mouth. We decided to mash up some peas for him, and he really liked them-even to the point that if we didn't give them to him fast enough, he was upset. So Yay for Jane and yay that she is sleeping at night again!
