Longest Day

Monday night 2009-05-11

What turned out to be the longest morning ended up being the longest night. I had never tried to put Cadence to sleep without mommy there. basically things were going well until the bath and she realized Julie wasn't coming home tonight. then the rest of the night from 7:30 onwards she was crying incessantly for mommy. I eventually called the hospital and played a slideshow of pictures and videos of Julie and Aria. This would keep Cadence happy for a few minutes then she'd again realized that it wasn't the real thing and she's cry again. Meanwhile Julie is on the phone trying to feed / calm down Aria at the hospital. Every so often Cadence would hear Aria crying and say "Meimei cry" and then start either be really concerned or start crying herself.

I've never heard my three girls cry so hard in one day -- Julie - giving birth to a big baby with no epidural, Aria - coming into the world the first time, and Cadence - going to bed for the first time without mommy.

Good thing my mom stayed over to help out, or I'd be bawling too :)

  1. This is so funny. Julian, it looks like ear plugs might be your best friend for a while. Just kidding.

    Hope you are doing well. You probably don't have time to play ball anymore huh.

  2. aww...sorry for a tough first day, but you managed! :) Thankfully when I had my 2nd, Seth stayed overnight at the hospital with Bryce, too. Bryce was so patient and behaved pretty well considering the unfamiliar circumstances he had to deal with.

    Anyways, hope you and Juliet are doing better and getting some form of rest!
