Done/To-do

[ailbhe]

Done:

1. Got up, made bed
2. Washed, dressed, did hair (managing all three with a young baby is harder than it sounds. Trust Me On This).
3. Assembled a load of 60 degree laundry (stuff with poo goes at 60 degrees. Stuff without poo goes at 40 degrees. She' snot on solids yet).
4. Sterilised the soothers / pacifiers / dummies - plugs, basically, to stop her screaming herself hoarse while I fix the problem. I'm already well enough that I can pick her up when the problem is Insufficient Cuddling, most of the time.
5. Cleared up in the kitchen - we have one counter now.
6. Caught up on email, news, and web stuff, including checking my new, draconian spam-filter (I'm seriously considering filtering all mail from non-whitelisted addresses. I no longer have time to manually sort through spam. We'll see how many false positives I get this month).

To Do:

1. Hang laundry to dry
2. Wash dishes
3. Clear second kitchen counter
4. Iron various baby things
5. Wash kitchen floor
6. Sterilise and assemble breast pump
7. Apply for two more baby freebies (Free Babies! Wahey!)
8. Wrap and post a parecel. It's assembled, it just needs brown paper and stamps.
9. Call my mother and at least one sister.

Of course, none of that includes feeding Linnea, burping Linnea, changing Linnea, playing with Linnea, and sitting around holding her, bouncing her, singing to her, and wondering desperately how to accelerate her digestive processes so that they at least don't hurt for quite as long, even if they still hurt. It's hard work, being almost 5 weeks old. (Five weeks tomorrow! She's growing up! I feel like it's rushing past far too fast; perhaps I should take more photos).
