Babysitting

Like i said, I babysat Alice on Tuesday. Carolyn was having her wisdom teeth out and couldn't take care of her so she thought it would be easier for her and Alice if they just didn't see each other for the day. so David and i took her and played house for the day. It was fun.



We took her to devotional and then she was ready for her nap. She even fell asleep in the car. Sadly she was terrified of my bedroom, where her port-a-crib was set up, so she didn't go back to sleep until i bounced her and let her sleep on my chest. After that she slept fine.



After her nap we went on a little excursion. We picked up our sign in book from our photographer. It's so cute! Then we went and walked around some shops with Alice. We had a fun time. She hated the sun in her eyes in the car so David let her borrow his sunglasses.



After our outing Alice took another nap, this time on the couch. She slept pretty well.



After her nap she had a blast playing with David.



Then we ate dinner and then went back to Alice's house to have a bath and put her to sleep since she wasn't going to sleep well in my room. She did really well the whole time and is getting more independent i guess. We had a great time with her! Our friends predicted that the day would either be a big birth control pill or would just make me super baby hungry. The report: Neither. Alice was just her normal self so it wasn't too bad. I'm not super baby hungry either.

The only big realization that i had happened the next morning when my entire body was sore from holding her and bouncing her. I hurt. Sadly, in addition to the funny muscle soreness, i also am having some hip pain. Not cool! Nothing super bad, I'm just sore but it makes me really think about how physically able (or not) i will be to actually have and take care of kids without needing a hip replacement after the first one. Oh well, i guess I'll figure it out when it gets here.
