YAY! Baby did her 3rd sleep through the night! As I wrote in my last post, it looked like she was on the mend. Finally sleeping again. And for long stretches, not just 20 minute naps. Well last night at about 9:30pm+ she started to get very fussy. I tried feeding, rocking, pacifying, laying down……heck I even jogged around the dining table with her over my shoulder. But nothing was going to work. Rick came out (due to hearing a lot of crying) to see if he could help, but nope, he had nothing to offer either. But suddenly for some reason, after trying to put her down to sleep again, she took to it! And……..stayed asleep until about 6am or even later (I didn’t check the time). So she slept through! She must have worn herself out with all of her fussing about that she fell asleep and conked out.
Today I took her out to a very big gathering and she got to see her grandparents (my folks) and spent the day with them. It was really nice. I got to see a lot of old old friends and they got to meet her too. She was very very well behaved. But that could be down to the fact that there was so much to look at and keep her occupied. Basically her pop (my dad) held her all day long. I hardly got a look in!! 
He picked her up when he first met up with us and didn’t put her down until I left. He was parading her around for everyone and anyone to see. It was the most sweetest thing! When I got home this afternoon, I became really sad and down, because I don’t get to see enough of my family. And right now, I feel quite alone.
I don’t know if it’s hormones or ?, but I am feeling very emotional of late. I feel really really homesick for my parents. I am wondering if it’s because I have little Summer now and it makes me think of family?? I think it must be. Either way, I want to see more of my family. But it’s so bloody hard as they are all spread so far and wide from me. Rick is very lucky to have his so close by.
