It's all a jumble this morning, and so we're taking a break. Just a short one, not the whole day off, just long enough for everyone to snack and be back on balance.
The Mr. was out a little late last night with a friend. I waited up. I shouldn't have, as I remained up most of the night, thanks to The Little Miss. He returned bursting with the good news of a new baby.
Then we geared up for a change in the family schedule. The Mr.'s company moved to a new office in downtown Milwaukee. No big deal really, except he went from a nice, large office with windows and a door, to a tiny beige cube in the middle of a football field of cubes. Not so fun. It's not a bad thing overall, but a transition none the less.
We've been going through the Autism stuff all over again, as I've said before. What that means in all practicality is collecting various bodily fluids and shipping them to various places. I spent an hour of my morning and plenty of dollars to ship pee across the world.
From there we went over to the hospital to get The Little Mr.'s blood drawn. One of my least favorite mommy experiences of all times. This morning it took at least 4 tries, 3 band aids, 7 vials, 1 phone call, 3 nurses, 7 stickers, 1 stuffed animal, 2 tissues, lots of tears, about a million "owwies", 10 "make it stop mommy", and 1 very brave little boy to get it done. Now that we're home, it takes 1 TV show, fruit for the boys, coffee and computer time for mom.
So with all that tied up together today, I'm feeling a bit mixed. I'm overjoyed at my friends big news. Babies are the most wonderful experience of a lifetime, and yet, after all I went through with my baby today...I'm feeling a bit drained.
Soon The Little Miss will be back from her visit with her mom, and we'll have the fall out of that to add in too. She's not awful about it anymore, but I'm sure it is confusing to someone so little. It's confusing to me, and I'm the grown up.
