kat, unedited

welcome! my name is kat. this is where i mostly talk about my little girl, logan eve, born jul 2011.

Kindle

The past week has found me spending lots of time in Logan’s room before my bedtime (which is the first time she wakes up after she goes to bed around 7pm). I’ve spent many minutes, sometimes hours, in there nursing her, making sure she is nice and full before putting her down in her crib again. Just the other night it took me 2 hours before she would finally drift off to sleep again! So, what’s this mama to do for 2 hours???

I finally discovered the Kindle app on my phone. Oh my goodness, I get to read again! In the dark! I’m now researching the Kindles, and I think I’m getting the Kindle Touch. I told myself I never would, but I’m already halfway through a book and it’s Me time combined with Logan time, which is awesome.

Any recommendations? Thoughts? Do you have a Kindle? Anything else I need to know? Should I get an iPad instead? I’m pretty excited to be reading again, something I haven’t done since the early days of maternity leave when Logan would take 2 hour naps on my shoulder and I refused to put her down because I wanted to drink in every bit of her baby-ness. So anyway, what do you guys think?
