We had a full day today, but it was a lot of fun. We ate at a wonderful Indian vegetarian restaurant and went shopping at a huge thrift store. I bought two books (Match Game and The Handmaid's Tale, Reader's Digest Natural Disasters), a couple shirts for Luke, 3 shirts for Katie, a few stuffed animals, some books for the kids, a kitchen gadget for Brian, a little wooden train for Luke, and I think that's it. Can't think of anything else right now.
My sleep study is on Monday night and my mind is consumed with worry about Luke and whether he will cry and call for me all night. :( I don't think he will because Daddy has a fun night planned for the kids, complete with new movies, Luke's favorite stuffed kitty, and Luke's favorite hemp shake, which I will have ready in the fridge. And Brian has lots of great ideas for distracting Luke if he is distressed at my absence. He's a very compassionate and kind daddy! :D If I didn't feel this was very important to my mental health and that it would improve the daily life of my family and myself, I would not go. I would wait until Luke was older. However, I feel that this is the first step in finding out what is going on with my moods and mental state. To that end, I'm glad to be going and I think it will be an interesting and different (therefore, fun) experience. What will it be like to not have anyone waking me in the night? I'll probably lie awake since I'm not used to long, uninterrupted sleep! LOL They told me that they do have a sleeping pill available to help you fall asleep. I may need it b/c of my anxiety and possible discomfort from all the wires. I will be sure to check on its compatibility with breastfeeding. I hope I don't leak breastmilk on the sheets! Probably wouldn't be the first time it's happened!
Oh, we also stopped at Whole Foods before we came home. We haven't been there in quite a while (a year or more) because it's too far from where we live now. We all had dessert(s)! :-o
Need to go to bed now. Stayed up too late playing Fashion Solitaire (fun!) from Big Fish Games.
