job and baby, baby and job

This sleep thing for the baby, especially afternoon nap, is getting horrible. Today I waited until I could tell he was really tired. Sat down, gave him the bottle, and he ate almost the whole 4 oz, eyes closed, looked and felt asleep....and then, his eyes opened, and it was like he was seeing a monster! He arched, and screamed, and couldn't be soothed. Pleeeeeeease tell me he'll grow out of this.

On a happier note, I made the 2nd cut and will be one of 5 people interviewed this week for the c:media job. I chose to be the last one interviewed; I know there is a theory of being either first or last but I couldn't remember which was better. They don't start higher than $35K but even $32/33 would be better than where I was. And there's no rule that says I can't keep testing for 911, too.

Heh. "Is this 911??" "No, it's...eh...912!"

and my period finally started.

It would be the one execpt it's not, if that makes any sense. The 5 they're down to meet with the CEO's current EA and the CA people are on speakerphone. Rats.

THEN they'll choose 3 to meet with the CEO herself.

Napping fluctuates. Ray will go for two days without having a daytime nap, to grabbing 20 minute power-naps in the car, to having four-hour naps every day. If there was a pattern, it's escaped my notice.

Someday, rememeber, they go away to college. And then we'll miss them.

I hope it all works out!

And babies...gah, don't get me started on babies! ;)

Have you tried putting the baby down before he gets really tired? Sometimes they get overtired, which I know sounds ridiculous, but in my experience it does happen.

Both of our boys also did better if their feedings weren't so close to their nap times. I gather that's not the case with most babies, though.

E-mail me if you think I can help -- Brian just turned one, so all of this stuff is still pretty fresh in my mind.
