Back to work - 24th October 2011

(It's funny how this blog undergoes a dry spell, before an outpouring of posts stored up in my head find their way here.)

It's been more than two months since Calista was born. The blur of feed, coaxing her to sleep, feed, catching up on news / tv shows, picking christian up from school and entertaining him... will soon give way to the routine of feed, work, pump, lunch, pump, home, entertain christian/feed calista. 

I'll miss these early days of being with Calista, and having some time to myself. Hope she will continue to sleep soundly at night (she's been sleeping through about 7 hrs at night, as long as she's snug in her kiddopotamus swaddle) and not kick into 'reverse cycling', where she sleeps in the day whilst mama's not around and nurses all night.

She barely sleeps in the day (half an hour at a time.. maximum 2 - 3 hours in the day), has started talking / complaining a lot (her expressions when she complains make us rather sympathetic..it's as if she's recounting some korean tragic drama), smiles whenever she sees the faintest smile on our faces, and spits the pacifier out whenever we try popping it in (as if disgusted that we are attempting to con her).

Anyway, here's the girl at 2 months old -
