A relatively quiet day compared to all the appointments of the last two days. Aubrey was held and spoiled by both grandmothers today. Adam had to go do work stuff for a while this afternoon, so Aubrey and I have been chillin' and just hanging out together.
I think Aubrey, being as advanced and as wise-beyond her years as she is, has figured out the whole "if I cry they pick me up and if I stop they put me down, and I don't want that so I'll cry until they pick me up again" thing. Yeah, she has us trained. It's really tough to leave her lying there when she's fussy or crying--we missed so much time holding her when she was in the NICU. I'm thinking we'll eventually have to go through the whole "cry it out" thing one day when she's a little bigger, but for now we'll try to calm her down where she is; if that doesn't work, we'll just have to snuggle her.

10p.m.
In other news, this baby has a temper! She shows it a little sometimes, but she let me have it tonight. I decide to give her a bath right before 9 so she'd be nice and awake for her bottle. Well, that ticked her off. Next she had major gas and that really upset her. Then I made her formula not quite as thick as road tar and that was the final straw. Holy moley, she cried. And hollered. And would not be placated. All the shaking and shushing and bouncing and singing in the world didn't help. So first we took care of the gas situation by getting her to poop (she hadn't done that in a while and it showed). Then I thickened her formula to approximate consistency of wood glue and she sucked it down happily. Wow. I'm pooped myself. And Adam still isn't home. Oy.
