rivkaLaunch postponed due to an electrical problem. Which means husband postponed, as well.
The good news is that sleep went better last night. I was worried, because she didn't nap well for the nanny and usually poor daytime sleep leads to poor nighttime sleep. But she fell asleep around 8:30 in the sling and didn't stir when I laid her down in bed. She did wake up at 1:30, clearly starving, but after sucking down a bottle she didn't wake again until almost six. It wasn't an ideal night - I would have preferred that the middle of the night feeding be later, or at least that she would go back to sleep after the 6am feeding. (She's just settling down to sleep now, for what will probably be her long morning nap.) But after our disastrous Monday night, it was great.
So tomorrow I won't be going to work. My usual work-at-home days are Wednesday and Friday, so I'll just switch to Thursday and Friday. That will make one of my assistants happy, because she wanted to take Friday off but was scheduled to run subjects all morning. Now I can run her subjects and she can hang out with her parents, who are visiting from Puerto Rico. So all's good there.
On the home front, I think it would be a good idea to try to fill in my schedule a bit - especially given that the next couple of days will be nanny-less. I'll have to cancel my Friday plans to go to story hour and lunch with Emily and her baby Zoe, but maybe she'll want to get together today. I'm thinking of going to the mall this afternoon for an air-conditioned walk, because the heat and air quality continue to be so godawful that I'm not willing to have Alex spend time outside. Emily might want to come along. And I might be able to set up a lunch date for tomorrow.
It should be fine, right? People do solo parenting all the time.
