Fun Fact Friday!
June 18th, 2010
* Sam has finally gotten his days and nights straight. He’s sleeping three to four hours at night, which is AWESOME compared to the hour and a half I was getting.
* I’m only just mailing Father’s Day cards today. I’m guessing they won’t be there on time.
* I’ve developed a terrible habit: Eating at Night. I barely eat anything during the day. I usually forget to eat breakfast because there’s just so much to do in the morning. I eat lunch after the kids go down for nap and then dinner. Gerald and I usually have fruit before bed, but then I go crazy. Every time I’m up to feed Sam, I have to get something to eat. I feel like I’m up eating more than sleeping. I need to eat more during the day so that I’m not starving all frickin’ night long.
* Maddie is going to spend a week down south with my in-laws. I’m excited for her because she loves spending time with her Nana and Papa and I’m excited to spend some one-on-one time with Sam. I haven’t had any real “alone” time to devote to him since he came home from the hospital.
*I found a new home for our bunny, Baxter. Poor girl isn’t getting the love and attention she deserves. She got knocked all the way down to the bottom of the list when Sam was born. Instead of forcing her to live with it, I found her a wonderful place to go. A farm! No really, she’s going to live on an urban homestead. This isn’t a euphemism for death or anything. There are three other bunnies for her to play with and some homeschooled kids who love animals. Her new family has promised to send email updates and pictures regularly so we’ll know how she’s doing. I feel really good about it. However, there is a moratorium on pets for our family. No matter how cute they are and how much I want them.

I’m glad you were able to figure out the bunny situation, and that the sleep situation has improved. Maybe when Maddie is gone you will get into more of a routine that helps you eat during the day? Good luck!
The alone time with the baby is SO nice. It makes me wonder why I ever thought having one child was hard.
I ate all night long with Eli too. Usually terrible things like brownies, because I was craving sugar and carbs to keep me awake. DO NOT RECOMMEND.
Good idea on the pet moratorium. Seriously. Wish I had the courage, but I’m afraid our dog is a bit too ingrained in our lives at this point!
I hope that you’re having a relaxing week and Maddie’s having fun with her grandparents.
I did the night eating too. I ate a lot when I was nursing, so I’d wake up in the night and feel like I was starving. I kept granola bars handy when I needed them. But I quickly gained back all the weight I lost during my pregnancy, and I think eating during the night those first two or three months probably had a lot to do with it.
