Decided yesterday that there will be no more long naps for me together with Adrian, since I came to realize that those naps probably contribute to the bad night sleep. We probably had a vicious circle here: he sleeps badly at night -> both of us tired in the morning -> we take a long nap together -> he gets too much sleep during the day -> he sleeps badly at night. Bye-bye naps. I will probably get less sleep in total but hopefully of a higher quality.

I am also trying to improve the quality of my sleep by not using the computer after 10pm. As you see it is not going very well yet (it is 22:15 already) but I promise I will turn it off after this post.

Instead of napping with him, I managed to get Adrian to sleep in a back carry in a sling – twice! The first time I couldn’t contort myself enough to get a dummy into his mouth so he slept restlessly and woke a bit too early. The second time went better. My previous attempts have failed but this time I tried a different type of back carry (the rucksack carry instead of the wrap cross carry, for the sling geeks among you) and it seemed to work better.

Bought new spring shoes for myself (delightfully comfy Hush Puppies) – the previous pair had a worn-out piece of lining that was giving me blisters.

Decided that I will start taking Omega-3 supplements, and bought some, since there seems to be a consensus among scientists about their usefulness. (I also plan to take vitamin D during the winter months, but have decided to skip it for now.) I still don’t believe in routine consumption of multivitamins since I believe my diet is sufficiently varied already. I’m also already taking calcium while I’m living dairy-free because of Adrian’s allergy, and glucosamine, which in my experience helps me avoid “clicking” joints.
