Juliet has been screaming her head off all afternoon. I knew that she desperately needed a nap but apparently she had to get to that point herself.

Now she’s quiet in her room. I keep telling myself that she’s totally fine and I shouldn’t go in and check on her b/c her door creaks and it will wake her up. But I can’t not check on her. The joys of parenting, I tell you.

Valerina is awesome and got me the monitor I registered for. It’s a perfectly fine monitor and she’s amazing for getting it for me. (She’s also amazing for sending new followers my way. Hey new followers, I hope you enjoy endless posts about my baby. She’s totally awesome, when she’s not screaming her head off.)

But if I had it all to do again, I’d totally register for a ridiculously expensive video monitor. And then I’d cry when no one got it for me. And then I’d suck it up and use a few Target gift cards to buy it myself. Instead those gift cards are long gone and I’m not even sure what they were used for.

And, I just checked on her. She’s fine. Still not asleep, but totally fine.
