Part 3

I think that we've been successful here with the nighttime sleeping. Some nights he sleeps longer than others. He wakes up after about 8 hours to eat like a pig, but other than that, he sleeps like a little angel.

Like last night, for instance. He feel asleep about 8pm (maybe a little earlier) and slept until 4:30am. Then, at 4:30, he woke up and was very hungry (and angry) and took down 6 ounces in no time. Then, he went back to sleep and was sort of fussy at 6:30am. But, we just needed to have a new diaper, and he went back to sleep for another hour, which made Daddy very happy, because he didn't have to get up until 7:30 then.


And then there are nights where he wakes up crying at 11:30 or 12 and just needs a nook in his mouth to go back to sleep. Or he'll wake up to eat at 2am.

It's all a rich tapestry.

Now, we just need to work on getting him to nap in the crib, instead of the swing. But, small steps. Small steps.

More people that I know are having babies, which is really exciting. Makes me want to have another right now!!! :)

Okay, I can wait a bit. Like I've said before, as long as we are under $3k of CC debt, we will probably try again.

I also just started a Couch to 5k program this week. It's supposed to be a slow transition into running a whole 5k. So, I'm giving it a try, with the end point being the Lakefront Discovery Run 5k (instead of the 15k). It's Oct. 31st and this program is 9 weeks, which is around Oct. 18th or so. A couple weeks where I can try to keep running until the event.

I am really trying to lose these remaining 15 pounds. Then, we will see where I am then. Maybe I can just keep going and see how much weight I can lose. Maybe I can get down to 175 like I want to be.

I'm starting to worry that Ryan is allergic to cats. He sneezes a lot and rubs his eyes a lot too. I really hope his isn't. I would be really, really sad to have to get rid of the cats. A little part of me would die.

Anyway, I guess that's all. I've got babies on the brain even more now. :)
