thursday thoughts

  • Feels like we've got a newborn again. Sleep for Mum and Dad has been in short supply this past week. Our sweet-cherub-in-the-morning has been a trial during the nights, to say the least. Waking up every hour (and I mean every hour!) not able to simply cry himself back to sleep and so coupled with my insomnia these days ... I'm simply not sleeping. It's agony. 
  • But on the flip side, Henry really is too cute for words. I am his mother and so it is completely in my right to say that. Still, someone else thinks so too as you'll find our Future Model sporting his Big Brother shirt on the banner of the fabulous etsy shop {jig} where I had that shirt and his Henry onesies made especially for him. Love etsy! I really should do a blog soon about all my favorite etsy shops ... but then that may give away potential future gift ideas I have in mind ...!
  • We have feet, feet, sweet baby feet on the loose now! Henry's Boots and Bar came off on Monday after a quick checkup with our Orthopedic Surgeon (everything's looking wonderful) and so now no more daytime wear. Ever. These past 3 months have felt l-o-n-g ... do you realize that's been half his life? ... and we are so glad to have that done with. Henry celebrated by promptly rolling over, front to back and back to front, on Tuesday for the first time and we were so, so proud of him. 
  • Monday was fun too as my friend Tanya and her 7 month old son Isaiah came along for the ride and a bit of time in "the big city". I think we really needed that as we did not stop talking for the entire 5 hour drive! 
  • My Mum arrives next Thursday for a visit with her grandboy (oh, and us too!) before her and Dad are off to Scotland for 6 months - with a little 3 week jaunt to Israel tucked in the schedule too. A retirement trip that's been a long time in the making, so we're so glad they're getting some away time in two different countries they love. 
  • Easter long weekend and we're so looking forward to having Sam home for a few extra days. But not as happy as he is to have the break from work! 
  • Sorry for the lack of blogs again lately ... I've been tired, moody for spring, and caffeine deprived, will that excuse me?

You are excused! I cannot imagine sleepless nights couple with pregnant insomnia...Elsie is climbing into bed with us now because she is in a bed. I miss her crib terribly. It is painful but atleast she falls asleep once she is with us.
Henry on the Etsy website is so sweet...I have to get on their and find some onesies!!! They are so cute.
I hope you get sleep soon. I am on the countdown...week 28 just began and I cannot believe I have come this far. I have only gained 6 pounds but my belly is huge!!!!!!
Love ya!
Love,Chey.

How exciting to have no more bar and be rolling over!!! So sorry about the lack of sleep though...it makes everything so much harder to handle, doesn't it? I found the simplest things could bring me to tears when I was not sleeping...add hormones to that and it just can't be good!!!
