All that comes after
Finn: Three and a half months old and we are finally getting a sleep schedule. At least for now (ie the past three days) Finn has gone to bed between 9:30-10, slept until 3:30 (or slept and woke and put himself back to sleep), had a bottle and slept until about 6:30-7. I can really feel the difference. He's still a bit cranky in the afternoons, but when I'm not ead on my feet, I can cope with a little crying. Weighed the boy last week and he was 14 pounds! He's working his 3-6 month clothes. I totally love it.He's taking his mid-morning nap now so I get a chance to write and do other things I need or want to get done.
Ingrid: Geeze, she is getting so big. Compared to Finn she's a monster. Compared to most 2.75 year olds she's a monster. She's as big if not bigger than all the 3 year olds in her YMCA class. That's okay, we like Amazonian women in this household. She is thinking she is out of the nap game lately, but the day I decided to indulge her she passed out on her Backyardigans couch in the living room for 1.5 hours. She woke up a right crank, too. When she's in her room she usually sleeps from 2-3 hours. She's almost done with her Y class for the summer and I'm really looking forward to taking her over to the development pool for some splashing. I also hope that we can manage some playgroups with the Y kids this summer. We've already got 1 birthday party and a tentative playdate set up with 1 family.
Post-Partum: I've been working on taking off all this baby weight now that we're out of the baby making game. I can't say that it is easy, but it is easier than I expected it was going to be. I really like Weight Watchers, but I'd warn anyone that was going to use it that you do have to be diligent, though they give you room for error. I'm feeling much more awake having gotten a few nights of decent rest, though last night it was Peter that was keeping me awake at times, tossing and turning. I'm looking forward to summer, but not to the oppressing heat that comes along with it.
