Yesterday, while trying to get some housework done as Bryony napped, I heard what sounded like a baby or kitten crying softly in the house. I listened at Bryony's door and determined she was sleeping peacefully, but I could still hear the crying intermittently. I walked all over the house trying to figure out the source, and after a good two minutes, I realized I was hearing the sound of my own wheezing...allergy season again. Adam calls it my musical nose when the wheezing comes on, but I usually only notice it at night when I'm trying to sleep. Despite the onset of pollen this spring, I haven't felt nearly as bad as I have in previous years, of which I'm very grateful.
The most challenging thing I've had to deal with lately is insomnia. I just can't seem to fall asleep until a good 2-3 hours after I've gone to bed, no matter how sleepy I am. Add in the fact that Bryony has started waking every 3-4 hours again, and I end up with only about 4-5 hours of quality sleep per night. Now I know why people with kids always look so tired. I look like one of them now.
I'm slowly but surely putting my house back together again after having had it painted a few weeks ago. Everything has been down in the basement while I have cleaned surfaces, swept floors and sorted through all our stuff, figuring out what to keep, what to sell and what to pitch. All this while trying to entertain and look after a 10-month old. Needless to say, my house still is not in the condition I want it to be in, but it's getting there.
Still on the hunt for a good-condition (Baby Jogger brand) jogging stroller. If anyone knows of one for sale in the Lansing area, let me know.
