Hello Little Girl
Mar. 23rd, 2016 03:23 pmTrip so far has been pretty fun. While Julie is conference-going, I'm getting a lot of quality time with the kid.
Generally I'm sticking close to the hotel, and don't really have the desire to wander far. I've been doing a bit of sight-seeing nearby, and Eris has even been awake for some of it. We went to the Liverpool Museum for a bit and she had her first ride on a Ferris wheel (the Wheel of Liverpool is just outside of our hotel). But mostly we've been the mobile nap squad. Sightseeing aside, the daily routine has involved a lot of washing bottles and fetching ice and hanging out in pubs and coffee shops. It's pretty relaxing.
The kid has not been getting in any long (five or six hour) blocks of sleep on this trip. Hopefully she'll be quick to get back to that when she's back home. Hard to say how much of that is jetlag per se versus just an unfamiliar environment and a lot more bottle-feeding during the day, but she hasn't just been sleeping the long block four hours later. Don't know if that's a good or bad sign.
On the plus side, things are going well on the bottle-feeding front, so that makes me feel less anxious about upcoming daycare. We've now verified that Eris will eat previously-frozen milk, so all that freezering won't be for nothing. And she'll eat comfortably enough now, especially sitting up. She really likes to bottle feed sitting up in the stroller, and does well enough with it now that I don't have to take her out to burp her, which is great because she likes being in the stroller much more than the transitions into and out of it.
