A busy day today. Sarah had to be at Blossom for her first parent/baby support group meeting. I had a dental appointment for a cleaning at 11:00 in Palo Alto.
Afterwards, I took a game back to Fry’s and then went to pick up Sarah from Blossom, where she was now engaged in a post-partum appointment with Rosanna, our midwife.
Once Sarah was ready, we headed over to Michael’s for lunch. I gave Geoff a call, who was more than happy to use us as an excuse to chill out and watch the ravenous local birds try to steal our food. It’s always good to see friends.
By the time we got home, it was about 15:45. Where did the day go? Both Sarah and I were knackered and Eloïse was sound asleep, so we took her upstairs and the three of us went to bed. Sarah was woken by Eloïse at some point, but I got a good three hour nap in before Sarah woke me. I felt as groggy as hell afterwards, but the sleep was much needed.
Rosanna weighed Eloïse today. She’s reached a respectable 3870g, so those boobs are definitely doing the business. It somehow suddenly seems amazing to think that one can sustain the life of another human-being, using nothing but one’s own body. I’ve always known that, of course, but it suddenly seems awe-inspiring.
It’s another busy morning tomorrow, with the second of our infant massage classes.
