>I know I said that I would do this every Monday and I haven't been doing it.
What was your weekend like?
Ours started with Josh going to work on Saturday. It was his Saturday on and it was fine. Conner and I went for our daily walk. We discovered that there is a family of little bunny rabbits that live up the street in the woods. They are so cute and Harley was dying to catch one! Josh got home Saturday afternoon and took off on his new bike. He sure loves that thing! I do not love that thing. It's very loud and motorcycles (in general) make me very nervous. I know that he's a safe driver but it's not him that I worry about; it's the others on the road. I am happy that it's loud because people will hear him and in return look for the bike. Saturday night, we just hung out at home and had dinner while Conner slept.
Yesterday, Conner and I left for our walk and Josh took off again. While we were walking, we met some neighbors. Jennifer (the mom) was walking with her son and dog. Her son (and I forgot his name) is almost two and they are having a brand new baby in December. I would have never known she was pregnant if she hadn't told me. She's very nice and will be staying home after baby #2 arrives. I was SO excited to have met another mom in the neighborhood. I get lonely during the day. After Conner's nap, we took off to have some lunch and hit up Target and Walmart. We ate at Atlanta Bread Company (YUM) and Conner loved the chicken noodle soup and the turkey from my sandwich. I knew he'd like the soup; chicken is his FAVORITE food. He smacks his lips and says "mmmm" every time he eats it. It's hilarious! We took Conner to the park and let him play with the big kids for a while. There was this one kid that kept "driving" Conner around in the car. I wish I would have had my camera with me because it was too cute. Last night, Josh grilled steak. It was delicious!
Let's talk about sleep. Those of you that know me and/or Conner know that he's not a sleeper. It's not getting better either; in fact, I feel like it's getting worse. For example, he was up every HOUR last night until 2 then he was up every 2 hours. I thought it was getting better but now he's cutting his eye teeth and they are really bothering him. I'm beyond exhausted. I'm so tired that my body hurts. It takes all of my energy to keep my eyes open and get things done. I don't know what to do. I've tried letting him cry. He will just cry for hours. He's cried for 3 hours before. That's too long, in my opinion. The worst part is that he knows how to go to sleep alone; it's staying asleep that we are having a hard time with. Josh is no help. He just sleeps right through Conner waking up and that in itself is very frustrating. He doesn't understand why I'm so tired and why the house isn't as clean as it once was. He doesn't understand that Conner is BUSY. He's SO busy that I can't get things done while he is awake b/c I have to chase him all over the place. I can't put up a baby gate on the stairs b/c Josh still hasn't built a rail for it. Every chance he gets, he beelines it for the stairs. We leave on Wed and I have a TON of stuff to do. I have to pack for 3 people, get the house in order, print directions, send directions to my family that is meeting us there, make sure I have enough "entertainment" for Conner for the car. All of those things have to be done while he's napping (which he is now and I'm blogging but I need this). I'm glad he's still taking 2 naps a day!!!! I guess that was about more than sleep.
I'd better get up and clean these hardwood floors and make the beds before that sweet baby wakes up. Before I go...here are a few pics from our weekend.
