A day in the life

Ok so before i get way to deep into my life i want show you my daily routine.

I watch a 3 month old little girl everyday. she is my best friends daughter. She is a sweet little baby and i enjoy having her here. My only complaint is it makes it hard to get out with both babies. you see we live in an apartment and against my husbands better judgement i had to have an upstairs apartment.. i am so dumb. Ladies listen to your husbands because SOMETIMES they have better ideas than you.

So i want you to just imagine with me for a little bit close your eyes and picture me strapping my 20 lb 9 ounce boy in the Ergo baby carrier, on my chest, and carrying a diaper bag and a 14 lb little cutie in her car seat down a flight of stairs, and then back up when we get home.

Now if you are anything like me you want to go take a nap right now. This is exactly why i dont get out much, because everytime i think about it i want to lay down so i just stay in.

Here are some pics of a typical day at my house... Tuesday-friday.

monday cont'd

After Jaxon's doctor visit we went to target, while we were there we ot him some sunglasses, he was not very happy about them at first but mommy thought they were cute. Aleks got mad at me because, Jaxon was not feeling well and i am torturing him with sunglasses, but he just looked so sweet. you be the judge.....

Fun Day Monday

So today was a fun day, We took Jaxon to the doctor today so we could get caught up on his visits. Since we lost our insurance right after his 2 month visit, we were a little behind on all his monthly checkups. Today they gave him 4 shots to catch up. (ouch) he was so good, after the first two he wanted to cry but daddy made him laugh, and after the second two he only cried a little. He seemed to be pretty miserable today but he stuck it out and ran all our errands with us, without fussing.

Somehow he always seems to know that we are out and he acts really good... well most of the time. but as soon as we get in the car he screams.

Ok sorry i got off on a tangent. Whil we were at the Dr. he told me i need to start letting him cry it out at night, if i ever want him to sleep through the night, he also told me to stop giving him his lovey at night because he could suffocate. I personally think this man is nuts. basically this is what he is wanting me to do in layman's terms....

1.) let my extremely hungry baby cry all night..... now i know that i need to but here is the thing with Jaxon, he nursed every 2 hours up untill last week, and he is now streatching to 4 hours, but he also eats solids for breakfast, lunch, an dinner and he usually eats this 2 hours after nursing, so basically he eats every 2 hours.

2.) Force myself to listen to a screaming baby when i am on the verge of being an insomniac. (because he is up at least twice everynight i don't sleep well)

3.) put my baby in the bed without the 1 thing that seems to comfort him when he is upset, sleepy, or just grumpy.

I am not sure if i can do it. i really want him to sleep but tonight of all nights the night after such a hard day. do i really do it, do i let him cry it out, or do i cater to him today?
Of course i want him to sleep but i also want to cater, just today while he feels bad. but i know if i wait I will always have some excuse.



Please pray for me for these next few days while i attempt to get my sweet baby to sleep.
