I'm tired

[theatokos]

Last weekend was super busy.... for having an infant. It was the first time we tried being spontaneous. It was a success, but two days of that, plus working Monday and Tuesday has me wiped out. B slept for 6 hours straight last night, but there's something about getting sleep that actually makes me feel even more tired when I wake up. As if, by starting to get some rest it is a reminder of just how much more sleep I need to catch up. I don't know how I'm going to manage going back to work three days a week. I can totally see why mothers stay home! This breast feeding this is hard work.

And I'm not going to get any more rest this weekend. We are going to San Diego tonight. B's first flight. We're going to see Adam's parents. His grandma from Kansas is coming out (B is great grandkid #6!). But really, we're going because it's ComiCon. The biggest comics convention in North America. I've never been and I'm quite excited. I'm only going tomorrow; Adam's going all weekend. We'll take B in a sling. I figure now is better than when he's a toddler and might get lost or trampled. I'm going to attend talks by Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Craig McCracken (Power Puff Girls, Foster's Home...), and Eric Powell (The Goon, see icon). Fun!!

I'm nervous about staying at Adam's parents' place. One bathroom for a full house. The walls are THIN. And even in the heat of southern California, their house is really cold, especially the room where Adam and I and B will be staying. I always catasrophize though when going to be with Adam's family and it ALWAYS ends up just fine. I have some serious prejudices that I need to work out so I can get over this nonsense. His family is nothing but generous and loving, completely welcoming and accepting of me - and I can't say that my family is the same to Adam.

Oh, and I get to east some AWESOME Mexican food. Woot!

The good news (at least from my experience) is that air travel with a tiny infant is really not that bad. I had to take Sam across the country when he was 7 weeks and he did great--slept most of the way, and it was a 5+ hour flight. It's when they get to the wiggly age that it's not as easy...but you're a ways off yet. :)

Have fun at ComiCon! Someday I will go to that. Good luck with the kiddo and the in-laws and the plane.

Yeah, I was thinking of you today, wondering if you'd ever been while you lived there. I will think of you: at the Joss thing, whenever I see X-Files stuff.... or any of the other things you like!

Also, we HAVE to have you over. Next Friday??

I know! I would love to see you guys. Next Friday would actually work really well for me. Shall we plan on it?

[ewigweibliche.livejournal.com]

YES. Friday. We'll talk details next week.
