I Heart Naptime

Life reverts back to simpler times with a newborn in the house. I find myself centering activities and errands around the necessities: food and sleep. For myself. For Adam. For the other kids. I'd say about 5 out of 7 days of the week I successfully get everyone fed lunch and happy so that we (Leah, Adam and I) can take an afternoon nap at the same time. 

Today was not one of those days. 

Adam's been cranky all morning and has hardly slept at all. On the flip side, Leah has a little bug and has slept all day. 

So I've kept myself busy cleaning and folding laundry. But oh how I wish I was napping!  (I can't wait until Adam isn't waking 2-3 times during the night!!)

Here's our "supposed-to-be nap time" was spent today...

And of course the inevitable ...

But wait... As I type this post on my phone...

Nap time!

One Month Old

Adam turned 1 month old on Sunday. Not much has changed since my last update- he still mostly eats, sleeps and poops with a few tiny smiles here and there. Just in the past day or two though he has started "talking" when he's awake. It's so cute- I love it when babies begin interacting!

He's getting to be quite the little chunk. No clue how much he weighs but he's wearing 0-3 month clothes now, even though half of them are still quite big. He's long, so even though he's heavy, since he's tall he's still skinny! So the pants I have on him today are quite big. lol.

The other kids are still doing great with him. Thomas is such a huge help! I'm crossing my fingers he begins to sleep better soon though. Some days I'm so tired I feel like I can't function!! I just keep reminding myself that this part doesn't last long...

Saturday-the day before Sunday

So it's official blogging month or something like that. You're supposed to blog once a day for the entire month to "celebrate." Once a day? Yeah that's not going to happen, but I'll give it a go. I've been wanting to do a couple "day in the life" posts so this is a great opportunity. 

So this first post comes to you on Saturday night. It's been a day of cleaning, running errands and keeping the kids happy and on task. It was a good day- we did a little resting and relaxing but also managed to cross off items on the to-do list. Laundry is folded and put away. Kitchen floors are clean. Boys' haircuts are done. I even put haileys hair in curlers. 

So how does this all leave Adrian and I come about 8pm?

Tired. So tired. 

So we veg. And watch the Jazz lose. And keep tiny baby happy. 

That's about all there is to our Saturday nights lately. : )
