Another Busy Week!

After being comletely exhausted by the end of last week, I was hoping this week would start out a little differently. It's not turning out that way at all. Now that Danielle is almost 4 months old, she is not sleeping as much during the day. Less time asleep for Danielle means less time for me to get things done. It's been quite a struggle. Sometimes I feel like a contestant on the Amazing Race because I'm constantly running! Her daytime sleep habits have changed a bit and also her nighttime sleep schedule. She USED to sleep through the night. Now she is waking up at least once to eat. Even though she falls right back asleep afterwards, it is still exhausting having to get up in the middle of the night. I think she must be going through a growth spurt. We will be taking her for her 4 month well baby visit with Dr. Lim in the coming weeks. Carter is also due to get some vaccinations.


We had a plumber come by last night to work on the leaking outdoor faucet. He had to access the pipe by ripping out the dry wall in our foyer closet. He was soldering some pipe together and the insulation in the wall caught on fire! The smoke detectors went off. I was in the other room nursing Danielle when all this commotion started. Next thing I knew Ken was yelling for me to get out of the house! I almost ran out of the room with my boob exposed I was in such a hurry. Lol. I got the kids out. Thankfully, it was only a small fire and it was contained quickly. Ken and the plumbers doused it with some water and it went out. He had called the fire department and they showed up right away. Since I was standing outside freezing in my barefeet, one of the firemen put his coat on the ground for me to stand on. What a nice guy!!! I got the kids in the car and drove them around town for about 35 minutes or so before returning home. I wanted to give it a chance to air out. It smelled like someone had a bonfire in our living room. The plumbers came back today to finish the job. I'm so glad it is all done. I'm exhausted.


The kids are both napping now and I'm SO thankful for a break. I took a little nap myself. Those have become rare nowadays for me.




Carter got out to play with his buddy Connor last Friday and his dog Bugsley. Connor lives a few units down in our complex. He's about the same age as Carter. I don't know if they really enjoy each others company just yet. They don't "talk" to each other too much. They just keep to themselves and check out each others toys. Carter is a little shy around new people at first, which surprises me. He's so animated at home. I would think he'd be all over other kids. Maybe after they play together a few more times he'll open up a bit. We're hoping to have his friend Marissa over to play this weekend. Carter REALLY loved getting all kinds of kisses from Bugsley.
