Kidstuf’s over? but i just got back!
hey friends! if we have any left out there after not posting for like forever and ever. I do apologize..but life just keeps getting faster and faster these days. I went back to work 2 weeks ago and it’s been crazy ever since! It started with our Kidstuf volunteer celebration. it was a cool event – Chronicles of Narnia on a huge screen on the lawn – all our volunteer families were there. it was great, but a 12 hour day away from my kiddo. :( And then a really hectic Sunday where i literally got 40 minutes of sleep the Saturday night before. 40 MINUTES. what happened was that i fed Levi his 11 o’clock bottle and then was ready to turn off the tv and go to sleep when all of a sudden – there were tornado warnings on every channel. A big storm was supposed to hit the ATL somewhere between 3 and 5am- so i had to stay up all night and watch the weather. I have a new baby in the house, how am i supposed to sleep knowing that at any moment a tornado could hit and he would be in his crib a whole room away from us? Think i’m crazy? that’s okay, John did too. And the tornado didn’t hit us which was great. but by the i knew that we were safe, i had time to get in the words of Elf, “a full 40 minutes.”
And then that week we were in a mad dash for the finale show of Kidstuf. Which was amazing by the way! A great way to end the show and the season. Our team at Browns Bridge has come so far, i was really really proud. And tonight we are having the cast wrap party..at my house! It’s gonna be fun – we’ve got chicken wings and Rockband and we’re gonna watch clips from the season..it’s gonna be great.
And then literally the Hilton Head vacation countdown begins! Can’t wait!!!! On Saturday we will load up the baby and the dog and our entire family will be headed to the beach for a week. 12 grown ups, 1 baby, 2 dogs (who don’t get along) all in 1 house. Good good times ahead.
In other news on the baby front – little Levi is doing much better. Last night (drum roll please) he went 7 hours in between bottles! that’s six solid hours of sleeping ladies and gentlemen..6 WHOLE HOURS! That’s called having a life right there. That’s called we might be able to make it through this. that’s called “thank you Jesus, can we have it again tomorrow night?!!” It was such a great moment when we looked at the clock this morning and realized that our little man had finally finally slept. wow!!!
And other good things happened yesterday too..we went to the doctor and are now able to do rice cereal in every bottle which will hopefully keep his little acid reflux at bay. Yesterday all the bottles were soo much better, so we’re hoping that that will continue to improve. And the best part is that he gained a lb in a week! Last week he was 11lbs 11 ounces, this week he’s 12 lbs 8 ounces!! Crazy huh? Way to go rice cereal! So anyway, that’s our little update. I will try to post more pics, the site wasn’t letting me do it when i tried this weekend, but i’ll try again. Thanks for checking in on us!
