Oh beloved ER, how I've missed you.
Don't want to spoil anything for anyone, suffice it to say I'm still madly in love with Carter and think he's a real person (vs. Noah Wyle - who actually *is* a real person) and I still really like Abby, although she can be a total bitch.
Not sure why I love a show that makes me cry EVERY time I watch it. I mean, without fail, I'm in tears. No other show does that to me. I totally lose myself when it's on. I guess that's a testament to good writing/acting/directing/etc. My sister in law actually got a walk-on role there that they won in a silent auction. I was SO jealous. She met a lot of people in the cast, but Kovac wasn't there and Carter was busy somewhere else. She did spend the entire day on the set though and learned a lot about how it works. Pretty interesting. Guess living just outside of LA has many perks!
For the parents out there reading...Lily has slept in this contraption since she was born. I have it in the larger size now, 4-7 months, and luckily she still has room in it. I think I'm totally screwing up her sleep habits though. She will only go to sleep if she's in it (at night), and I've recently discovered that she sleeps better on her belly. Now I won't put her on her belly in the swaddle thing because she can't roll over or do anything...although she's not great at rolling over yet anyway. I'm probably screwing up her ability to roll over better too. She's like a cozy lil burrito in this thing, but I think it might be getting her into a bad habit. Tonight she woke up because we were laughing too loudly with Laszlo and I took her in our room and then put her in her crib on her belly, but freed just her hands first. She's been sleeping pretty well since...but I'm all concerned about the SIDS thing and her sleeping on her belly. She's almost 7 months old. Am I being my typical paranoid self?
I should say she ends up sleeping with me anyway. She usually goes to sleep around 8 and then gets up at 10 at which point I take her into bed and she stays there. Tonight's a little different because she didn't get to sleep until 9 and didn't get her back in there until close to 10 and she's still out. Not sure why I'm bothering with all this, probably because the pediatrician yesterday pretty much told me I'm fucking up my daughter by nursing her throughout the night and sleeping in bed with her. I didn't even mention the swaddle thing because it didn't cross my mind. She just doesn't like being alone. As soon as I pick up that little burrito, she passes out on me. I know I'd sleep better if she'd just sleep through in her crib, but I will not let her cry. It was easier with Laszlo because he wasn't quite as sweet as her - is that awful to say? She's just pure sweetness and I can't bear to let her cry just because she wants me. It's retarded. When she's old enough to understand more, I'll work on the sleeping thing. Thanks for letting me work that out there...that's my decision. She's gonna be with me, on my boob as often as she wants until I can explain to her that Mommy needs some sleep too. So what if I'm sleep deprived for the next year? No biggie. I'm doing ok. Just a little delirious at times - such as now. Rambling...stopping.
