Isha goes to mass

Wow it has been a long week. Monday was good. Jai was off so we spent some family time together. Another rough night trying to get Isha to go to be. AND then came Tuesday, what Jai and I will refer to as the white trash day. We had a good day, but it turned ugly that evening. I was cooking dinner with Isha on the counter in her bouncy seat and Stitch at my feet. I gave Stitch a cookie and then got my plate ready. Just then Isha decides she is starving so I leave my dinner to get cold and I go to feed her. While I am feeding Isha, Stitch sits down at my feet and I hear him munching on something. I can't believe he is still eating the same cookie, so I look down and he is munching away on a block of RAT POISON!! I called animal poison control and was told to make him vomit. So after 3 TBSP of hydrogen peroxide, a jog up and down the street and jumping around in the front yard (because we had to be in an area that was well lit so we could make sure he brought up the poison) I was left with one heck of a clean up job and neighbors who think I am crazy to be running around in the dark with the dog. Thankfully Stitch is doing just fine. When it was bed time I was to worn out to spend hours getting Isha to sleep so I decided it was time to lay down the law. We swaddled her and used the steps in The Happiest Baby On the Block book and in 10 minutes she was asleep and she stayed that way for 7 hours. Wednesday was a busy day. Isha went to mass for the first time. We went to the little chapel at St. Francis Hospital. That was nice because it was a short service. She fussed a little in the beginning, but slept through the rest of mass. All the little old ladies wanted to see her and she received a blessing from the priest. It was great. Then that afternoon we went to my postpartum check up. Isha fussed the whole time which was stressful, but I did get a clean bill of health, minus the broken tailbone. Thursday was very laid back. We did lots of resting to get caught up from the two outings on Wed. That evening we took Stitch to Brusters to get him ice cream for his 10th Birthday. Thank goodness it is Friday. We have kept up the swaddling technique and have had 5-7 hours of sleep every night!!!!!
