harvest, book

Harvest:
8 carrots
about 20 bush beans
German Johnson tomato as big as my hand
basil for pesto dinner

Book read:
Marion Chesney, Plain Jane (1986). There's a lot going on in this Regency romance - romance, mystery, an interesting Upstairs-Downstairs thing - which may be why the characters are either caricatures or flat. I may try one more of hers, but I don't really like her voice and she seems to suffer from the 1980s phenomenon of boring perfect heroes and boring stupid heroines. I can take naive, but stupid gives me hives.

It was a very difficult night last night. I really need mr. flea's help in the nights, and he fell asleep with Casper and I didn't wake up enough to go ask him for help until 5:45 am. Left to myself I have a great deal of trouble getting the Dillo to sleep - I suck at wrapping him up - and have a tendency to nurse too often and fall asleep nursing (we can do it lying down already!) only to be woken by every single snort. Very tired today.

I tried earplugs during his naps today. Helps some. I wish I were better at sleeping through the sniffs and snorts. I am a complete hair-trigger-mother sleeper.

I am so impressed you can nurse lying down already! It took Ellie and I until about 8 weeks to be able to do that. Dillo must be a strong little boy with a good latch.
