4 weeks already!
Just had a few minutes to blog, so here goes....Scott took Owen to the park and Wes is on the tail end of a nap in his swing. I can't believe its been 4 weeks already since being a family of 4. Last week was my first week when I had both boys by myself all day long. It was not as bad as I thought, just a few tense moments where both were crying at the same time and also Owen has figured out that he has more time to get into things while I am nursing. But overall, its been OK. Wes hasn't figured out how to sleep too well at night yet. We've had several nights where he's up at 1:00, 3:00 and 5:00 am. wailing for some sustenance. And with burping, changing and rocking, it's usually at least an hour awake each time. You can do the math on how much sleep we're getting! Ugh. On an bright note, last night he slept from 9:30 pm until 3:00 am, which is a huge stretch for him, so relief may be in sight. This boy grunts and moans alot, even when asleep. It took me awhile to figure out that he didn't need to be disturbed through the grunts because he was still asleep. I've gotten a few smiles, but i think its only when he poops.
Yesterday we went to the farmer's market and got some big strawberries, a bag of oranges and some walnuts. There was a honey stand and they had some bees in a display case which fascinated Owen. He's a funny boy. We taught him how to make a circle with his finger to his temple and say "cuckoo", but then we thought maybe it wasn't a very PC thing to teach him. Unfortunately, it's harder to unteach something. He loves being outside and just playing with rocks and dirt and sticks. Such a boy.
So, is anyone else watching American Idol? Any ideas on who will win? I'm guessing Chris. I wanted to boycott after Mandisa got voted off, but it's like a trainwreck--you just can't stop watching it. What about Survivor? My guess on that one is Danielle, although I hope Terry can pull it off.
Well, I need to get some stuff done, like take a shower. Its starting to stink around here! Here are some new pics of the kids.
