What's with today, today?

Writing from our freezing cold house, waiting for the oil guy to maybe (?) call back. Seeing as how we called in our problem at 6 AM, and didn't hear from the guy for two hours, when he was like "I'll be there in half an hour," but we were on the road to Boston and wouldn't be home then. The road to Boston that sucked hardcore this morning, took an hour and a half to get Drew to work. I figured packing us all into the car for a drive would at least be more pleasant than trying to entertain the baby in our cold house. Finally got back to Salem with just enough time to run into the house to grab West's daycare stuff, and oh! the section of Bridge Street close to our house was closed so I had to go the long way 'round on the bypass. Argh. Got West to the doctor just in time, baby is healthy (and not fat!), got some shots, and is now happily at daycare where it is at least warm.

I am really freaking out about what we'll do if the oil guy can't fix our furnace today and make it warm. As it is, I gt barely any sleep because I had West in bed next to me all night with the covers on, so I spent most of the night on "don't suffocate the baby" alert. But it was too cold to put him down anywhere else, I think the heat actually was off all day yesterday and we just didn't notice until the middle of the night.

Also I have to go to the dentist later and I am pretty sure I have a cavity. Boo.

Man, suck. I'm sorry. That sounds awful. I hope you get your heat fixed! If for some reason you don't, we have a pull out couch you guys are welcome to crash on. Not ideal I'm sure, but hopefully better than no heat. Keep me posted!

It's fixed now! Apparently we had a bad nozzle. Thanks for the offer, though, it was a relief to know we could have a back up plan if needed.

Glad to hear it. No problem about the offer. I know it wouldn't have been a fun situation, but we wouldn't leave you in the cold!

You're not going to suffocate the baby! No worries! Really! (I know, I know, easier said than done.)

Thanks! I think he actually sleeps best next to me, he doesn't toss and turn like he does in the crib or co-sleeper. But for my own sanity I prefer the co-sleeper (trying to transition to crib because soon he'll be too big for the co-sleeper, he's 19.5 pounds!)

P sleeps right next to me also... he grunts and flails around in the co-sleeper but as soon as I pull him into bed, he's out. It's so frustrating!!

After the cosleeper we rigged the crib up right next to the bed. I hear you... I sleep way better when the babe is not right next to me. But on the flip side, sleeping right up close is better than staying awake to nurse in a rocking chair or something, lol!

Hang in there... it DOES get better. :)
