Well Michael went back to work on Monday morning. So I was on my own Sunday night and all day Monday. Lucas decided he didn't want to go back to sleep till around midnight so I was up super late. Prior to Sun night Michael had been staying up at night with Lucas so I could go to sleep around 10/10:30 to actually get some rest before he woke up for his first feeding. Once he was asleep I curled up into bed for a good 3 hours before I was awoken by a hungry baby. He only stayed up long enough to eat and fell back asleep. Thank goodness then he awoke again around 6:30 for another feeding and fell back asleep. I only slept a little bit longer and then Kalen was up. So I got him breakfast and that was the end of short bursts of sleep. With Kalen I could just nap when ever he would fall asleep because he was the only one, can't do that now since Kalen pretty much goes full force till his 3 hour nap and then is up again. So I was hoping I would be able to maybe get an hour of nap when he went down. Lucas had other plans he was wide awake for a good three hour stretch while Kalen was napping. So no nap time for mommy. Instead I got a few loads of laundry done and the dishes. So at least Lucas made me productive. The day went pretty smoothly and I had survived the 2 on 1 coverage.
My mom came down Tuesday morning so I could go to the Dr with just Lucas. I am not ready to brave going out with both of them alone. After Lucas' Dr appt he fell asleep which allowed me to do some shopping in Ocala. YAY!! It was also nice having my mom here because the hubby and I got to have a date night, dinner and a movie. We headed to Outback where I got my first Margarita in 10 months!!! It was so delicious and much deserved. We saw Pirates in 3D, where we were the only people laughing at Captain Jacks facial expression and gestures. I just don't see how people were not laughing. Overall I enjoyed the movie I wasn't to excited to see it in 3D I feared a massive headache but it wasn't bad, I think because it was actually filmed in 3D rather than being turned into 3D after the fact.
Today, Wednesday I took Kalen to lunch at Olive Garden while my mom watched Lucas. I met up with Stephanie and her son Aidan and Mollie. We were having a great lunch until Kalen hit his threshold and was ready for his nap. He no longer wanted to be in his high chair and he did not want any part of his food, my mom would eat his pizza since he did not eat any of it. I got my check and was ready to head out I was gathering all of our stuff and Kalen was sitting in the chair eating a mint, when he decided to do a flip off the chair and ended up laying on his back on the ground. So even more screaming ensued. I quickly got out of there I'm sure our waitress was super happy she had our table. He barely made it out of the parking lot before he passed out. He is now sleeping soundly in his crib and we are about to hit the 3 hour mark so I am sure I will be hearing his voice soon.
Wow props to you! I know that 2 little boys must be a handful especially when there is only 1 of you but I am sure you're able to manage and do a great job. Poor Kalen on falling out of the high chair, but luckily he was okay and not hurt!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Ya I think he mostly scared himself when he flipped off the chair.
ReplyDeleteI remember the first time I was alone with my two babies, it was so scary!! I brought along reinforcment to the doctor, or had someone stay with one while I took the other (especaily when number 3 came along)! I'm so glad you got a date with your husband!! Take care!!!
ReplyDeleteThis totally brings me back to the first few weeks of my little Lukes life and how scared I was to be alone with 2 kids haha! Your Lucas is adorable! Having 2 boys is so much fun, heck yes for a date night for you and your hubs! That rocks! Keep up the good work mama! Ps thanks for our prayers on my blog, it means a lot to me!
