We hope everyone had a fantastic New Years. This year was the first tame New Years we've had in awhile. We packed up our stuff (Luca and all) and went to our friends, Asif & Dima, place for the night. Packing everything up was an event in and of itself! The sheer amount of stuff we had to bring for just 24 hours was enough to make me never want to travel with Riya and Luca again.
I was very nervous about being out with Riya for an extended period of time. Lately, because of her acid reflux, she doesn't nap more than 30 minutes and I never know when her discomfort level is going to spiral out of control. Luckily, our friends are well versed in all things baby since they have one of their own who also had acid reflux. They reassured me that within a few months everything will be better and I will forget about this hardship. I don't think I will ever forget, but I am looking forward to better days...
I was worried about putting Riya to sleep in her pack 'n' play (she only naps in there once a week) and in a different environment since she has been sleeping 8 hours straight for the past week and then 4 hours after that feed. So now we are down to 6 feeds and a predictable feeding schedule. Hallelujah! I'm hoping by the end of January she drops that pesky night feed! I have forgotten what it's like to sleep longer than 3-4 hours a day...
The afternoon started off shaky, but she did pretty well at night. She even slept through the fireworks:) It was nice to be able to spend New Years with friends and get some much needed adult time. I even stayed awake past midnight! (I came to regret that the next day when no-napping Riya was back in action).
All in all we had a great time, with great friends. I'm looking forward to all that 2014 has to bring and wish everyone the best this year!
