After a whirlwind couple of weeks we are getting settled in our new apartment in Long Island City. Luckily my parents were around to help and did a lot of work to get us packed and then to get us unpacked so we had a functional apartment. Not easy to find the time to pack with a newborn - but we made it through. Everything is pretty much in it's place and just requires organizing at this point, but we are out of boxes thankfully and managed to get blinds installed and our cable, internet and phone up and running (just in time for tonight's presidential debate). The dogs not surprisingly our pretty confused - Kahlua still turns the wrong way out of the elevator and doesn't know what to do on the other side of the elevator bank when he is confronted with a new hallway. Bailey was a little quicker to catch on. But we've enjoyed our walks along the East River, it's a peaceful neighborhood that doesn't have the traffic that 37th street did in Manhattan where the Midtown tunnel let's out.
Maya has slept in her crib in her own room every night this week which adds a little extra sleep time for mom and dad since we don't hear all her little grunts and gurgles that keep us up. Inevitable the louder yelp that says ''I'm hungry, feed me" I do hear at least twice if not three times a night, and I somehow make it to her room and into the rocking chair Grandma Lynn and Grandpa Gib gave us to nurse. She's adjusted well to her crib and a tight swaddle helps get her down. She's going to be 4 weeks tomorrow which is hard to believe, I still feel as if the birth just happened. Here's the pumpkin trying to relax after a meal in her bouncy seat (pacifier veeeery important for digestion apparently).
