So with my whole six hours at work today, I have nursed 3 times. I decided to make the most of this nursing and blog…One handed. I am getting pretty good at this one handed stuff! I guess I could be one handed working right now too. Sorry Shirley.

Anywho, I am in the office this week a little more than part time while Shirley is Boozin up the Arts Festival with the “Brew Crew”. Yesterday I was not so sure this was a good idea. Addie cried almost nonstop for the first 2 hours. I felt so bad Not only for her, but for my co-workers. There was nothing I could do. She was gassy and her poor stomach felt like it had rocks in it. All I could do was wait until it all passed.

Once afternoon hit, it was pretty much smooth sailing. She only fussed when she was hungry or needed to be changed.

Today, I had a game plan. I fed her just before I left (The car always gets her gas bubbles out), then again as soon as I got here. I also brought a vibrating bouncy chair. This has been a LIFESAVER! I nurse, burp, and bounce. She LOVES it. It lulls her right off to sleep and keeps her that way. (Thanks Karl and Dao, I would be lost without it). I only wish I had discovered this miracle worker a few days ago.

She loves her Papisan swing, but it is big and bulky and doesn’t move easily from room to room. The bouncy chair is about as big as her car seat, so it is totally portable.

Thank heaven for little miracles… and little girls!
