Week 1- Just me and O

Monday- it started out very sleepy. I stayed up until almost 1:00 trying (unsuccessfully because he was asleep) to feed Owen so that he'd only wake up once during the night before the husbands alarm clock. He woke up at 2:45, 6:00, 8:30, and 11:00. So at least daddy got some good sleep. I think I'm doing pretty well. I've got a new recipe in the crockpot for dinner and I completed 1 sewing project from my do to list. The red beans smell amazing!

Tuesday-the power went out around 7am. So I sit here in the very dim, window lit room feeding Owen by the glow of my cell phone. Oncor says the power should be on by 9. Good reason for a morning nap if you ask me. I can't cook, sew, or shower without electricity. The power came back on, and I had to get on with my day and chores. Owen got plenty of snuggles. We went to my in laws house for dinner. And I almost fell asleep on their couch.

Wednesday-Owen decided he's now a morning person and had his big blue eyes open wide at 6:30am. So we ate breakfast with daddy... Or really I just ate half of his breakfast. He was nice enough to share. Owen sort of slept some more on and off. I think he's having a growth spurt. He is starving every 2 hours to the point of tears and frustration. We went to Hobby Lobby in between feedings (my first outing alone with him!) and got some frames and fabric for some projects. When we got home I fed Owen and myself and we both passed out on the couch for 2 hours! For dinner we got a yummy enchilada casserole from our friends Hilari and Nick-the ones we lived with for 3 weeks. I guess they still like us HAHA.

Thursday-all I can say about today is that I showered before 9AM, and took Owen to the grocery store. Whoa. Just call me Wonder Woman. I also recovered our headboard with the fancy fabric I got yesterday, and started our laundry. Who wants to fold clothes when I can cuddle a widdle baby? Right now he's sleeping on me, and I'm watching the slightly boring premier or Grey's Anatomy....maybe I'm just distracted?

Friday-Owen was again wide awake at 6AM. Which is fine, but now it's 2:20 and he is still awake and refusing to do anything but nurse or be held with his wubbanub paci. We have plans tonight for the husbands birthday so a shower today was mandatory. I put him in his crib and took the worlds fastest shower, and he cried the whole 3 minutes. He was so fussy/mad/gassy all day and never took a nap. He stayed awake until around 8 or 9pm. Not kidding. So unfortunately I had to cancel our plans we had for dinner because Owen was supposed to come with us. There was no way I was bringing him to a restaurant. He'd been crying all day, I may have done a little crying of my own and I just couldn't do it. But, I'm assuming that this is parenthood...canceling fun plans because your kid has taken over. However, since he's been born, the husband and I have not hardly had any time alone with our new addition.
