A pretty exciting thing has happened around here- Jason's car is finally up and running again! After replacing the wheels, tires and battery, Jason is finally able to take himself to work again. It couldn't have come at a better time, since Laela's sleep habits have been much less predictable than they were previously, and I've been running on less sleep than I need. So it's nice to be able to sleep until she wakes up, instead of waking to take Jason. She did well last night, and she slept all night on Saturday, but in general she's been kind of all over the place. So, we've been spending the first half of the night in our room and the second in the living room. But, in an effort to remain positive, I keep telling myself that at least she doesn't cry at night. In fact, she's been waking early in the morning squealing happily, ready to party. Several times I've fallen asleep while she remains awake, sucking on her hands. I'm assuming her little body is just going through some changes. But, to be honest, I don't always react well to fatigue, so sometimes it takes a lot to remain patient. Hopefully it won't last much longer. Currently, she's trying pretty hard to roll over, but she just manages to scoot around in a circle by throwing herself from side to side. We had a nice weekend, Joeli flew in from Chicago to meet Laela. We had a great time. We ate at the Lost Dog Cafe on Friday while Jason watched Laela. On Sunday we got coffee and went to the mall, also baby- free. And Monday we took Laela to Apple Hills for lunch and then took her and the dog to the park. I love baby time, but I never turn down an opportunity to get away for a while. I really need to get away to the gym, since I didn't go last week and I haven't gone yet this week. But, thanks to my 90 crunches a day, my jeans are fitting much better anyway. I went through a period a few weeks ago where I felt so bad about myself that I broke out some of my smaller maternity clothes. But, as I learned when I used to watch What Not to Wear all the time, bigger clothes just make you look bigger, so I stopped that haha. I'm feeling a lot better now. In general, life is going pretty well, except for adjusting to the early darkness. There are so many things I enjoy about winter, but that is not one of them. But, at least I have the holidays to look forward to.
