crazy thoughts, crazy nights

my husband is home, phew!

everyone was down...asleep....by 8. we had dinner together.... quiet, yummy, nice to catch up. i made butternut squash risotto with blue cheese & rosemary. quite tasty.

nightmare at midnight....micah joins us in bed.
i always had dreams of snuggling in bed....visions of being hit in the head by a sleeping hand, the tender sounds of a toddler sleeping, the gaze i could sneak in twilight of that angelic face....not as romantic as it had been in my head. it meant no real sleep since there was another body sharing my pillow with me, the sound of a foreign breather, and being hit in the face by a sleeping hand.

nursing at 1.....
nursing at 3.....
everyone was awake at 6:30......
thoughts of actually turning on barney just so i could keep my eyes closed was tempting.
i also had thoughts of running over to the ymca for a quick workout.... what am i? crazy?!
a few more minutes of the day with my eyes closed - even i was awake - was more tempting.

today i need to deal with the laundry that i need to pack tomorrow in order to leave for california on sunday.

I can't sleep when Andrew invades our bed either! Which has only been twice. I don't know how moms do it all the time...they must be super sleepers.

Have a wonderful trip!

and we will be out numbered....

as of monday, i am through my first trimester with sweet baby #3. the sweet children will out number the adults come the beginning of march. as john likes to comment about my day to day coping skills, "her body is betraying her" as i adjust to pregnancy and surviving with two small children. i still can't find our flash drive to upload pictures....i'll work on it. it requires clearing off the computer desk which exists in the middle of the living room due to the plaster/drywall work being done to patch up the hole from the toilet leak. supposedly the new hardwood floors are supposed to arrive this week.....which means we could potentially move out of the office and back into our bedroom in a couple of weeks!!! the small pleasures in life!

more tidbits

i find it interesting....... .......how the two boys are in sync already. apparently we had not weathered the worst of operation big boy-no paci....he cried for almost an hour. what we thought would be an early bedtime was not....then asher (who was supposed to sleep until 2) woke up at midnight only to be followed by big brother 10 minutes later "scared." .......how 20 & 30 years olds (including myself) walk around the locker room delicately covered up by the towel that is slightly too small to cover my rumpus..... and yet the 50 & 60 years old strut around with no shame. nora ephron claims that the things that we things we hate about out bodies in our 20s will be the things we long for in our 50s. funny how that works...maybe i'll lose my abandon and sit in the sauna naked as a jaybird..... naw!!! .......how fun sitting on the kitchen counter while daddy cooks is for a two year old. .......how much i want to cut my hair. .......how excited i am to have gott...
