Free to move

I can't believe it, but Micah slept for 4 1/2 hours last night and probably would have gone longer, but I needed to feed him. That means Tom only had to wake up once to change a diaper which put him in a good mood today from getting some extra, uninterrupted sleep.

Wednesdays are my favorite day of the week b/c I get to watch all of the shows that I recorded from Tuesday night. So, Micah and I will be couch potatoes tomorrow! I'm excited.

Tom finished the bench and shelf. See below. The shelf isn't hung yet. He wants the foyer painted before he hangs it.

If only I could tie that pacifier around his ears so he wouldn't spit it out, I would save myself alot of bending over...

Micah and I managed to make a trip to Target today all on our own. I must have timed it just right b/c he slept the entire time.

Not too much to report on. He's gotten pretty big lately. He's grown out of all of the newborn clothes and has moved into the 0-3 month things along with moving up to size one diapers. Everyone is right when they say the grow up fast. It's true.

Picture Perfect

Micah was wide awake yesterday afternoon, so I decided to create my own photo studio in the basement. Hopefully, I'll get out of the house this weekend or next week and get some real photos of him taken.

Jerry and Andy arrived this morning.

Hope

Here's to hoping today will be better than the last...

Never ending day

Today has been the hardest day to be a mom so far.

I woke up early and managed to get a shower before Tom left for work thinking I was ahead of the game. Little did I know that it would prove to be the longest day ever.

After my shower Micah and I said goodbye to Tom and went downstairs for some breakfast and with the intentions of taking a nap. Micah had different plans. He was wide awake. So we watched the Today show and the View and the 11am news. Still no nap. He did not want to sleep. I was exhausted and he wouldn't let me put him down without throwing a fit. I barely had time to go to the bathroom. Finally, around noon he fell asleep after being up for 4 1/2 hours. I put him down in the pack and play and he was up in less than 30 minutes. After calming him down, he fell asleep in my arms and remained there all day. I tried the bouncy seat but he didn't like that. I tried the car seat and he didn't like that. I tried the pack and play again and he didn't want to be in there either. In my arms he remained all day. I never got a nap. So, there are no pictures from today. Sorry, he wouldn't let me put him down long enough to get the camera.

Unfortunately, I hear him crying downstairs which means he's probably hungry again. Maybe one day things will get better. My fingers are crossed.
