For the past couple of weeks, we've been trying to move Juliet towards a routine. Along the way, we've encountered problems with her not being hungry every three hours, her not wanting to wake up to eat, her having bad gas, and us allowing well-meaning visitors get Juliet off track by keeping her awake during what should be a sleep cycle.
It's been such a revealing few weeks for Ray and me both. It's amazing what you learn about yourself and your partner when you're sleep-deprived. I think the most important thing I've learned is that I really might be married to the best man alive. I could fill an entire blog with all the wonderful things about him, but I'll just summarize by saying that he is equally involved with Juliet and partners fully with me in making decisions for/about her. In addition to that, he actively works to make sure I'm doing okay and taking care of myself.
We finally feel like we've settled into a good schedule that ensures Juliet is eating and sleeping well and also allows Ray and me to get rest. Life is good. Life is very, very good.
