The big event for this past week was our trip to the mountains to coach the Ironstrong Training Camp in Blowing Rock, NC. I've designated another post for the details behind the camp but the significance is that it was Claire's first road trip. The ride there went well but once she got there she was a bit off of her game. She seemed like something was wrong and actually ended up projectile vomiting twice on Saturday and was very hard to feed. As I write this we now know that she had a virus but at the time we thought it was due to the travel and being out of her environment. The good side of all of this is that Claire puked all over Watty's brand new TapouT shirt & shorts that he was wearing to intimidate me. Claire & I got the last laugh and Watty was stuck with vomit on his clothes!!
Jen and I have resolved my lack of sleep issue that has been causing a bit of tension in our household. I try to be pleasant but I need my sleep. Claire usually wakes up to eat between 5am and 7am and since Jen has personal training clients at 6am every morning this means I'm waking up early as well. Jen doesn't seem to be as affected by the sleep disturbance so we've come up with a system where she takes the feed in the middle of the night (~2am or 3am) and I take the feeds ~10pm and ~6am. This way I get a solid block of sleep and so far I haven't been quite as cranky. She has the opportunity to nap during the day (even though she never uses it) so it seems to be a fair tradeoff. At least I think so!!
CLAIRE:
Here's a quick recap of what she's been up to:
* First road trip
* Weighs 10 lbs 0 oz
* Cooing and smiling quite a bit
* Is able to sleep in her crib and slept in the pack & play in the mountains
