Quick update.

I went back to work on January 5.

In the meantime, we all got sick and now we’re recovering.

I’m impressed with how effective we’ve been, because I brought back a crib for the Little One with Młoda, and J. has already assembled it.

Młoda is now sleeping in her room on a mattress from a single bed. Her crib will soon be taken apart and brought to J.’s parents so it doesn’t take up space. I want to buy some kind of low bed frame so the mattress isn’t lying directly on the floor, but also so she doesn’t have much to fall from. All these changes are so I can sleep with her, because when the Little One is born, Młoda will probably become more my child and I’ll be the only one taking care of her at night, and I don’t really have the strength to put her back to sleep several times when she happens to be having a tougher night. I’ll simply go sleep with her in her room then, so I don’t disturb J. and the Little One. Młoda’s first night on the mattress went really well, to the point that after I put her down, she slept 10 hours without waking up, after which I woke her up myself because we had to go for a blood draw. So not bad, because the last few nights were full of wake-ups.

Other than that, we’ve been playing quite a lot of Rummikub on the phone lately, plus different board games. We want to enjoy them while we can, because after the birth it might be hit or miss. Rummikub on the phone has the advantage that you don’t have to set up and put away the board and look for space :p
