Twitchy

My eye has been twitching for about 4 days.  Normally whenever this happens I can eat a banana and get on with my life.  Not so much this time.  I know that these things are caused by magnesium deficiencies, so I've been eating dark chocolate (look it up... it's a great source!) but to no avail.  I even went to sleep last night at 9 pm and felt rested this morning when I woke up at 7:30 after our 5 night-time wake ups.  That should count!  But nope!  We're half-way through week 7 and I'm just continuing to twitch.

My mom came over on Sunday and sat with our little lady so we could leave the house twice.  The first time we went to flotation tanks and floated for an hour in sensory-deprivation.  I was able to relax for the last 20 minutes of the experience... but it took a while to get into it.  Of course when I did relax all I could think about was our little girl. Crazy.

Next we went to the movies and watched "Monuments Men" while we ate smuggled in pie (thanks Lesia!).  There's nothing like smuggling in pie to the movie theater (except for smuggling in beer... which we have also done once or twice).  It's just lovely.

Anywho.  Let's hope that in a few weeks this little girl will get over the fussiness hump (which all books promise are between weeks 6 and 8) and we can start sleeping more and stressing less.  Maybe my eye will learn to relax in the mean time...  or maybe I'll just think of it as an accessory.

What's In a Name...

So in real life, things are still about the same.  Every day is a whirl of diapers, rocking, learning to do things with one hand, and every time I sit down or have a moment I can't seem to get myself to do anything actually productive.  It's just kind of a mess up in my head.  I also can't believe that it's been almost a month of this!  Anywho... before I forget, I wanted to write down our reasons for little lady Pritzker's name.  Jewish folks name their children after those who have departed this earth.  Here are the wonderful people who our little girl will never meet.  We'll do our best to teach her about them and more importantly instill their lessons and values. Lilah There are two "L"'s in this little girl's name and they stand for the parents of my father, Lev and Lyubov.  Lyubov was one incredible woman who really truly left me a legacy of cooking and warmth.  She was a woman who was never ever thin physically, but she was as ge

Just When You Thought You Could Breathe Easy...

This is pretty much an accurate description of last night from 2:45am until about 4:45am and then a good 3 hour chunk of today.  Everyone I told over the weekend "maybe we've turned the corner!" I take it back completely.  This picture will for sure be used as guilt material throughout the teenage years.  Sigh.

10 days In- Reflections, Realizations, Confessions.

Holy cow.  Parenthood.  It's here and it didn't just tiptoe in like a little kitten, it arrived with a roar and then settled into our living room and I think it might stay awhile.  I think we have a relatively easy child, but there are definitely some things that need to be written down immediately (or after 10 days, since time is something that doesn't really exist anymore). They say you should never have a child to fix a marriage.  Holy crap are they right.  If I didn't like my husband, this would be a very very different and unsuccessful adventure.  This is taxing.  Straight up hard work.  I've never been one for sleep deprivation, and this is pushing it to the max.  You don't always have time/ forget to eat (if I forget to eat this is a big deal people )  and you don't sleep much and you have people in and out... if you don't like your spouse, just forget about having children together.  Do yourselves both a favor.  I am blessed to have the man
