Jean even remarked that it had been a long time since she'd seen me with a tie. I got home shortly after five, and woke Colette to start our evening of fun. As before, our goal is to keep Colette awake as much as possible from 6 PM to whenever we go to bed. We also want to give her as much formula as possible so her stomach will be full overnight. Two nights ago we did this with great success.
Tonight seems to be going well.
Colette has been in some form of consciousness all evening and we're just about to start her on her third bottle in six hours. We'll burp her and put her to bed and pray that we only wake up two or three times. It would be nice to be alert when he or she arrives. Still, the fun of parenting is that you have to keep going no matter what curve balls you're thrown. We'll manage to get through tomorrow morning if we have to, then collapse whenever Colette gives us the chance.
