Kid A and I had a big day today. Ran some errands, attended a breastfeeding support group (where I asked some questions about pumping and returning to work), and then went back to the office where I interned last year to say "hi" to everyone. Since I was (very) visibly pregnant during my internship, people were pleased to see me and to meet Kid A. TM and I had not divulged Kid A's name prior to her birth, so it was fun to introduce her to people who had called her by various pet nicknames during my work there.
Kid A did great. She's been fussy for the last couple of days, and so it was really nice to take her out and about. She definitely had her fits, but they were mercifully short and very few. She did sleep in the car between stops, but would not stay asleep once we got home. TM came home a short time after we did, and applied the Moby and stayed with soothing her until she went to sleep. I think she's so tired, she just might stay asleep while we eat our dinner -- something that rarely happens!
No news on Dad today. I took a day off from attending to his troubles. Will keep y'all posted.

Trudi,
First of all, let me congratulate you on "Kid A". I had seen pictures of her on Krista's site. She is a doll!!
Secondly, having spent many many years caring for my Dad, I want to commend you for taking a Dad Day off (DDO) yesterday. DDO's are absolutely imperative if you want to remain sane.
You've got a whole lot on your plate so you have to make sure that you take care of yourself first. Just remember the advice they give you in airplanes that nobody listens to....."In an emergency, put YOUR oxygen mask on first, then take care of the person next to you." (It really is good advice)
I'll be checking back in from time to time. In the meantime, take good care of yourself!
