Good news on the jet lag front!

I THINK I was able to get to sleep by about midnight last night and I woke up to construction at 5:30 this morning (and got out of bed to ensure more progress tonight)!  Bad news on the stomach front - I caved and had a snack at 11:30 p.m., which means my glucose fasting test scheduled for today will have to be delayed until at least 8:30 a.m.  WHOOPS!!!!!!  I suppose I'll be drinking water - LOTS OF IT! - in response to my baby belly that is already growling.  You see, I'm a breakfast girl.  A breakfast - pregnant or not - girl.  A breakfast ASAP after waking up girl.  So, wish me luck as I do the thing I hate the most for the next few hours:  FAST!  If I cave again, I suppose the bloodwork will be delayed until....tomorrow?

As for Nory's jet lag, night one was a little rough (she crashed by 8:30 and then was wide awake from 1 to 4:30).  But, as I mentioned in yesterday's quick blurb, it would have been much more rough without a nanny living down the hall.  Kumari Poppins got up to play with her in the wee hours of the night and they had a blast until Nory's energy ran out and she was finally able to fall asleep.  Then she slept until 10:30!!!  Which is when ALL OF US WOKE UP IN SHOCK!  Ah!!!!  Get up!  And get that baby up too!!!  Last night, she didn't sleep until 10:30, but despite a few wake-up's, she's made it until 6:30 so far.  WOO HOO!  Fingers crossed the pattern continues towards a nicer bedtime schedule :) 

I can't leave out Phil!  Phil is one of those people that ROCKS jet lag.  Meaning, it doesn't so much happen to him and it isn't so much anything he ever talks about (unless he's talking about his wife who is the WORST AT DEALING WITH JET LAG, EVER).  Seems he moves country to country as if EST is a universal time zone and I simply cannot get it.  Dana is like that too.  I hope they realize just how lucky they are!!!  

On today's agenda (after I survive fasting, three sets of bloodwork, and celebrate with a massive breakfast buffet):  continue to rearrange/organize the flat (they painted over the summer and everything was moved), pick up some more groceries (ones that Kumari WILL EAT AND ENJOY!), and visit with a friend who has also decided to switch to our new school.  Not napping will continue to be on the agenda until jet lag is OLD NEWS :) 

Wishing you a great day wherever you might be!  If you're awake and reading this in the next few hours, please have a delicious snack in my honour.  But don't tell me about it until this afternoon.

XOXO
