The waiting game





Now that Yasemin is 6 months old she is sleeping much better at night. Most of the time.


I spend most of my days playing with her, making her food, cleaning up after her, feeding her, changing her and a whole list of other things. I am so happy when she sleeps during the day, normally 2 naps lasting about 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours. When she goes to sleep I sigh from relief and do things that aren't so possible when she is awake. I go to the bathroom, take a shower, eat something, check my mail. Then........ I wait. Wait for her to wake up so I can see that beautiful smile when I look over her crib at her. I wait to be able to pick her up and feel her wiggly warm body. I wait to be able to kiss her squishy skin in the place I like best behind her ears. After I have done all that and the normal day to day caring and loving of her.......I wait. I wait for the time she sleeps again to have some time to myself again... starting the whole cycle all over again.

Thanks for stopping in to Momformation and leaving your comment. I love the image of the Turkish woman grabbing your boob. I am intrigued by your life. I have always wanted to live abroad. I have a brit husband, but somehow,here I am still living in my home state of VErmont. We travel a bit, but it's not the same as truly experiencing another culture. Enjoy it!And that little baby too.

Bra shopping is always a daunting task in any country. If you ever want to get to Istanbul, send me a note. It is totally a different experience to live somewhere and not know the language, culture, etc. Your posts are so funny, I was hurting myself laughing.
