Matilda's slowly coming around

When we brought Olivia home from the hospital, our cat, Matilda, would run away from the strange, small, moving object. Finally, yesterday, she started to come closer and closer to me as I was holding O. She even slept next to me when I was taking a nap with O in my arms. AND last night, she got back to her old position at the foot of our bed. Before you know it, we'll be a family again ;-) Our pediatrician told us that cats older than 5 years tend to become scarce when a new baby is brought into the home, but a cat between 1-5 years can go either way. It looks like Matilda's pendulum is swinging back to our side...slowly but surely.
I started reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows to Olivia yesterday. I figure it's going to last longer than the five minutes it takes to read the baby books I have, plus, it will help me get through the tome. Win win! I am probably the only person on the planet who can't read a whole Harry Potter book. I have never finished one (thank goodness for the movies)...but the tide will turn. I may just finish it by the time my maternity leave is up.
Yes, it's true..I am able to nap finally. The erratic sleeping at night has finally caught up to me and I have gotten about an hour's nap the past two days. Even the nap-challenged can sleep during the day with a newborn. Next to conquer...working out. I have been meaning to do these baby yoga cd's that I got from the library, but I haven't worked that into my day yet. It's amazing how time flies when you're breastfeeding. It's like I just put them away and it's go time again! AND I am on the longer intervals than I know that some of my friends have been. I heard every hour from a friend of mine. I have tried to avoid that scenario...I just don't think I can replenish the supply that fast! So far, I am on the every three hour (from start to start) plan. Sometimes it's less, but usually O is sleeping and I have to wake to feed her. (I ain't complaining!) It takes time to produce the super-milk ;0)
It's sunny out today, I think I will take O for a walk to the library. I can't wait for it to get warm so we can spend even more days outside!
