Sleep...What's That?

There's both good news and no news when it comes to sleep at our place. Ari is getting used to having no pacis at night!! Tonight it only took her about 5-10 minutes to go to bed. Eli on the other hand is having some sleeping issues. He wants to have "awake time" around 10pm until around 1 or 2am. This is not fun at all. It makes sense since he sleeps almost all day long. We just can't keep him awake during the day yet. Plus we're using our pack-n-play in our room for him to sleep in and I think he has a hard time sleeping in that.

Mr. Man's mom gets here tomorrow for a few days. With someone else here I have a chance at getting some sleep. Maybe things will go my way for a couple days. One can only hope.

Amazingly enough I was able to do some sewing today! This is amazing on so many levels. First, the kids...enough said. Second, my foot has some good-sized holes in it from the surgery and thank God it only really hurts when I'm changing the bandages. Thanks to my crocs and a bit of naptime I was able to make two sets of nursing pads for at night. I never understand why some companies think that 3 inches of fabric makes a good nursing pad especially at night. If I were better at sewing I would create a nighttime nursing bra with built in soakers so you don't have to worry about pads shifting around at night and then waking up wet in the morning. I bet I could make some money with that idea.

Please keep Mr. Man in your prayers this week. He has a major interview this Thursday and we are really hoping that the job works out, and even if it doesn't that something else will open up soon. He's ready for a change from Outback and I'm ready to have him working real hours. Plus if he gets a "real" job I might not have to go back to work!!

I really don't want to go back to work anymore. I thought I would but I don't. I think I'm ready to work as mom for a while and relax. I know that contradicts itself but you know what I mean.

Here's a picture of Eli almost one month old already in the longies I made him. Sadly they won't fit much longer and he's hardly worn them.
