Yeah.. not sure what's going on with him, but he's up at least once a night now. I've just taken to bringing him to bed with me and a bottle. He'll at least, eventually, go back to sleep. And before you judge, yes I know that it's probably not the best thing to do. And yes, I know that it's going to become a habit, but I just can't do it anymore. Getting up once or twice a night, and staying up, doing it all by myself (not just the getting up, but the feeding, the changing, the shuffling to and from daycare, the rocking, the playing) for two weeks is just too much when you throw in not sleeping at night. Yes, even in bed he's a wreck. Tossing and turning and kicking. But at least he's not screaming, and that's just fine by me. Sometimes he'll even sleep through my alarm. I think in the last two weeks, I got to shower by myself maybe 4 times (and that includes weekends). Ai yi yi.
Christien's back and we're getting some things done around the house. Feels good to see some of those things get crossed off our to do list. Things that both him and I are doing. I really want to get started on some of the renos that we talked about with Kristin WEEKS ago. I know that we don't have the moulah right now to do anything major but there were a few things that we were just going to paint, add new fixtures to, things like that. Things that were easy and relatively cheap to do. I hope that we can get to our bedroom next week. That's the only room (besides the upstairs bathroom) in the whole house that we haven't done something to. Not even paint!!
Christien is only back for about a week and a half this time around. He's got to go back to work early so that he can take off early during his next go around so that we can head out to Dale and Kristin's wedding. It's going to be rushed, but fun! He'll fly in Thursday night (the 30th) at 7:45. We'll have a quick jaunt home, get him unpacked and then packed up again and then we're off to Fernie. Staying overnight there and then off to Castlegar first thing in the morning. Dale and Kristin really want us there for the rehearsal dinner on the Friday night, so this is the only way to do it. Super looking forward to it though. The stag is here this weekend, so that's why I'm headed to Edmonton by myself (well, with Reid too). I thought that it would be nice for the boys to have a place to come back to after their night of debauchery without having to worry about waking a baby and a wife. I'll stay here Friday night, cause I'd like to see Dale, but then we are out for a night with auntie Stacey (and maybe uncle Ty - but he's working). Excited and nervous. Reid is still not a good traveller. I just pray that he naps the whole way to Edmonton. I hear it's supposed to rain, so that might be nice for the drive. Kind of dreary and dull. Might lull him to sleep for longer then normal. Cross your fingers for me.
