Last night Sofia slept unbelievable well. I didn't sleep a wink due to "new mother syndrome". I was listening to every sound she made. Checked her everytime she made a peep. Hopefully it only lasts for one night and I'll be well again tonight.
We are trying very hard to keep to her schedule from the orphanage.
A bottle at 6:00am (yeah, I'll try to bump that to 7:00 after we get home).
Then back to sleep until 8:00 ( I like that).
Cereal for breakfast. There is an incredible breakfast buffet included with my room, and today we ate down there. They brought me hot water for her cereal. It was snowing and we sat by the giant picture window.
I tried to give her a bath, but she is terrified of the tub. They only used small tubs at the baby house. So she got a second sponge bath. We'll try the tub again tomorrow.
At 11:00 she takes her first nap. She went down at 10:30!
The mashed potatoes that I cooked at the apartment are not going over well. So she had more cereal for lunch.
Dancing and reading books and then a nap at 2:00 until 4:30!! I slept soundly for the first time. Love a good nap.
We were going to go to the Guns and Roses Pub for dinner to use their free wifi, but I ran into the other adpotive parents from Buffalo so we had dinner together. Sofia only ate some of her mashed potatoes. Its gonna be great to come home and be able to try new foods on her. Its too risky to do it here, incase she is allergic. Hope she doesn't mind eating cereal all day, every day.
We rode around in her stroller until 8:00 and now she had another bottle, she sang in her bed, and is off to sleep.
So far so good. I'm learning so much. Sometimes I think I'm like Lucy and Ethel without Ethel, but I'm sure I'll figure this mama thing out.
