Paul and I went on our first night out since Regan was born last night! It was fantastic! My mom and dad came up from Longmont to babysit and we went out to dinner and a movie to celebrate my birthday. Real Steal was SO much better than I expected. I loved it! I will say that parent/child relationships hit me in a whole new way. In the movie, the young boy's mom dies (don't worry, I'm not giving anything important away) and it broke my heart! Anyway, great movie! After the movie, we went out to Red Lobster, a splurge for us because we're usually so cheap when it comes to "going out." But we both ate our weight in shrimp and I don't regret it a bit. I only regret that I was too full for dessert.
This was the longest that I'd been away from Regan. I called to check in between the movie and dinner, and got a text from my mom after dinner saying all was well. I missed the little squirt, but it was really nice to get away. Bless her grandma and granddad because she's been awfully fussy again lately, especially in the evenings.
Aside from her fussiness, she seems to be sleeping for longer stretches at night. Last night, I think she got in about 4 hours in a row. Sometimes she fusses or even cries in her sleep a bit, but when I go to pick her up, her eyes are still closed. So I'll usually just let her fuss herself back to sleep. She's still tough to get to go to sleep at night. Last night, it was close to 11 before she finally fell asleep. But once she's out, she seems to go back to sleep after nursing pretty easily at night. Usually. Anyway, I'm starting to feel a little more rested, which is nice.
I'll be doing some work from home this week, which is kind of a bummer. A project for work needs to get done this week though, and I offered to do the majority of it. I actually got quite a bit done today while Paul was home though, so I'm hoping it'll just be another few hours of work. It's actually sort of nice to have something else to think about, but it's hard to focus.
