A couple days ago I had written about half of a blog entry, and then my iPad magically deleted it. Whoops. So now that I really don't remember what I wrote about, I guess I'll start over.
We finally got approved by Toyota for a temporary three bedroom apartment in West Palm Beach. So for the next three months, that's where we'll be! I'm excited to finally be back in the same place as Daniel :) I know it's only been about two and a half weeks that we've been apart, but it has seemed like a VERY long two and a half weeks (especially since I don't sleep much all of my days seem to run together, haha). I am super nervous about adjusting to South Florida life and making new friends, but I'm sure it will turn out fine. After all, this is our 3rd move in 4 years! Tallahassee to Titusville, Titusville to Jacksonville, and now Jacksonville to West Palm Beach. We should be pros at this by now. Or at least pros at selling houses! We're definitely planning on renting this time around.
Speaking of not sleeping, Blake is actually a much better sleeper than Logan was at his age but when you have a two year old to take care of also it really doesn't matter how much more sleep you're getting. Blake usually goes down around 8ish and sleeps until I'm ready to go to bed (ha ha ha). He then wakes up again around 2-3ish and again around 5-6 am. He seems to fall back asleep in the morning just as I hear "mama, mama, mama" on the monitor from Logan. Let's just say thank goodness for Starbucks coffee in the morning!
So I've been exclusively pumping and it has been going pretty well. We had quite the rocky start to nursing. I might have been more inclined to keep trying at the nursing, but I've been stressed out about enough lately that I decided to cut myself a break and go with what I know I'm good at - pumping! I did it with Logan for 5 months (after 3 months of nursing). A little harder to keep up with a consistent time schedule of pumping this time around, but thankfully I am blessed (or cursed, haha) with an oversupply as usual. Ten minutes of pumping yields me about 16 ounces on average, so I've built quite the freezer stash...at least if my supply does drop due to inconsistent pumping, I should have enough reserves to last for awhile.
On a not-so-baby note, Daniel and I are totally obsessed with the show 'How I Met Your Mother.' I just love Barney, he cracks me up. I know, I'm a total tv show junkie - I really prefer a good series over watching a movie. Streaming netflix is the best thing since sliced bread for me since I have been going through season after season of older shows. Just have to find the ones with subtitles and I'm good to go! My plan for tonight involves an episode or two and a glass of Pinot noir :)
You sound like me! A total milk machine! Haha! Glad to hear everything is going well :)
ReplyDeleteLove How I Met Your Mother! SO funny! :) You are doing so great with pumping, I know how tough it can get when you have two little ones to take care of! Glad you guys got the move figured out! :)
