April 24, 2009........cause it's been a LONG one.
Don't let the above picture deceive you -- she may be a cuddle bug, but when she is grumpy, she is grumpy. And some of it is my fault and I feel horrible about that too. )c:
So, like I said yesterday, we're moving. So the landlord dropped off the papers I needed for the utility companies (saying that yes, we had the right to turn on / transfer to this new apartment) early this morning. So I went down to get everything transferred.
So I went to do the water early today, cause it hadn't been turned off yet and I wanted to catch them before it was turned off because, if I could, there would be no transfer / connection fee. So we go do that and, when I leave the house, I'm planning to come back home and then go downtown and do the electric and then go to work (water company is in New Town, work and electric in Old Town), so I don't go out with extra bottles, just one full one.
So after I go to the water company and run one errand, Lil Miss is getting overwhelmed, so I figure I'll go do the electric and call Charles and tell him the munchikin is having a bad day, so I'll come in Saturday morning instead of this afternoon. I knew he would be fine with that. But then I get to the electric company and there's a hitch in getting everything transferred. It all worked out in the end, but it ended up with me having to go drop something off and get some things from work and I figured while I was there, I might as well go ahead and get the things done.
After Charles leaves, Lil Miss starts to have a fit and nothing I do really helps. Best I can figure (if you don't want to hear about the baby's bodily functions, you might want to skip this part) is that she was having a bowel movement and it hurt. Cause she seemed in pain and was crying really bad and nothing I did worked and, when it was all over, she had a messy diaper.
Is that normal? That hurting them? Is there anything I can do other than hold her and cuddle her and tell her she's okay? Is there something I should be doing differently in feeding her?
And then, after that, she got fussy again and I realized she was hungry.
That was about the point I realized I hadn't packed any extra bottles and she'd already polished off the one we had.
I took the next bus that would get me home quickest, but it was still over an hour and a half before we got home. She was not happy with Mommy and I felt so horrible. I am never leaving the house without at least two bottles again.
And she's been awake most of the evening too (she's finally asleep now). It's been a long long day.
But the water and electric are on at the new apartment. I can start moving stuff tomorrow and then everything else is switching over Monday. So we're moving completely on Tuesday. Yay more space!

One of Lil Miss' cute faces. This is the best shot of the "surprised" face I can get.And now? This tired Mommy is going to sleep.
