Adventures in Calgary

The last time Molly had a growth spurt I ended up with fever and the chills and I thought I was going to die. She seems to be in another one now (she didn't have one at 6 weeks like she was supposed to! hee hee her first rebellion). Yesterday she was eating every hour or two all day. And today she is still feeding more frequently than usual. No fever or chills for me this time - instead I had a terrible back and neck ache from holding her so much. And I was incredibly dehydrated and hungry. No one tells you how hard these growth spurts are on you physically so I'm tell everyone - THEY ARE SOOOOO HARD! If there was a way to predict exactly when they were going to happen it would be so great because then you could arrange for someone to come and help out until it was over. It just goes to reinforce my theory that it takes 3 people - NOT 2 - to raise a baby. One to work, one to feed baby, one to feed other two and keep the house from falling apart. Luckily, mom and dad will be here in 14 hours and then we'll have one person who's working (Noel), one person who can look after the baby (mom), one person to feed the baby and the others (me), and one person to work on the house (dad)...it's going to be soooo good.
