It's 11:44 pm and the baby has been asleep since 7. Had one sort of whiny wakeup but fell back asleep without me having to go into the bedroom. He also went to sleep tonight with very little fuss. I put him in the crib and walked out. There was a little protest but then he got down with his lovey and that was that. Folks, I am about to cry from sheer joy. Last night he was waking up every 45 minutes and spent a full hour (from 2:30 am to 3:30 am) screaming, FULL ON, as i was draped over the side of the pack 'n play wanting to shoot myself. In my half-dazed state I thought about making a recording of his total hysteria to play in the ear of everyone who sees happy daytime lowell and thinks im melodramatic for implying that he ever does anything other than charm the pants off old ladies and whisper little milk kisses in my ear. Take that! Ha! But tonight, tonight I believe we have turned a corner. Please please please please god.
alana,
i'm assuming kara told you, but i'm now working with cheryl meininger at my new job. she has seen and loves your blog!
you may have also noticed you have more people coming to visit your site. i have told no less than 15 people about it- moms, friends, you name it. (you do all the work- i get recognition for turning them onto it. must be what it's like to be an agent to a successful Hollywood A-lister...)
again, your posts are great and while i personally enjoy them, the people at the agency really love the insider info on what it's like to be a new (great!) mom, since we cater to moms and their kids.
thanks again & keep up the blog. they truly make me smile, and if i had to pick my top 3 posts, i would be hard pressed to do so.
(oh yeah, and kara- you don't call enough. note to self: i'd better make my personal life more interesting.)
xo,
s.

Thanks Sara! You are my entire PR team because I haven't done shite. And thanks for the kind words. Mainly i think i am total loser for most of the stuff that i post but it's fun. Say hey to cheryl for me - that is so cool.
