On the one hand, I had to get up for an ops shift at 8am.
On the other hand, I wasn't at work so who cares about how early I had to get up?
After the ops shift, I did a few chores and then made the mistake of sitting down for a while and acquiring a cat on my lap. If I hadn't had other plans, I might have just curled up for a nap there. But...
My sister and her husband came out to visit us for the day with my tiny new nephew! Sprog is eleven weeks old and this is only the second time I've been able to see him (argh, global pandemic). He's adorable and I love him. Even though he was a bit fractious because he didn't sleep well overnight due to the heat. I got plenty of cuddles and lots of time playing fingers and toes with him. He's pretty good about settling down with me, which is flattering.
Unfortunately, Dad has so far had two cuddles...and Sprog has screamed both times. I think Dad is starting to feel rejected. Oops.
Sprog is quite small (just below 25th percentile for height and weight), but we're all fine with that. He's feeding well now after a rough start, but it looks like part of the reason he's often uncomfortable is that he's got reflux as well as wind. So they're going to be looking for some ideas to help him with that, because it's clearly quite painful at times for him.
But we had a lovely day and I was completely worn out at the end, but I can't wait to see Sprog again. Best nephew ever.
And then I went home and watched the first three episodes of The Untamed with
hockeybosh. She's been here before, so has been helpfully explaining things that I was confused about (everyone has so many names!) and cackling at my reactions. Probably because she knows all the things I'm wrong about *g*
I'm really enjoying it! It's so pretty! I should do a proper reaction post for the first three episodes, but I can report that I already have characters I love which is a good sign. And also, WWX is adorable and therefore it's going to be very difficult to watch anything bad happen to him.
I'd only planned to watch two episodes last night, but then I said the fatal words. "Is there any reason we can't watch the next one?"
Which was such a bad idea with Guardian but HB should be able to steer us away from any really badly timed cliffhangers *g*

Date: 2020-08-02 12:11 pm (UTC)But it's so good to be able to start seeing Sprog a bit at last. I'll try to remember to give regular aunt-ting progress reports for those who need the vicarious experience. One of the most incredible parts has actually been seeing my sister become a mother. I'm not sure I can explain it properly, but watching her with Sprog is beautiful in a way I didn't expect.
