Today, I am soooooo thankful we are all feeling better. Im so anxious to finally get out of the house! Trying to come up with some fun plans for tomorrow. Luckily, Stephen is off too. We can all go as a family! I want to be able to get out and be thankful for the world outside of this house!
On a side note, Lorelai is 11 months old today! One more month left in her infancy! I honestly can't believe we are here! Those first couple weeks after we brought her home, while I adjusted to having a one year old and a newborn(plus I was healing from a csection), were hell to be honest. It took me some time to get into the groove of things and to get it to a manageable point. Didnt help that she wasnt much of a sleeper! Finn practically slept away his first 3 months of life. It was days of one only sleeping when the other was awake. I was sooo over the moon when they started observing the same sleep schedule! He only napped once a day but it finally fell during one of hers.
After about a month and a half, she finally slept all the way through the night with him. That's the point I started to feel human again. I still remember Christmas Day, just after she came home. It was a rough couple of nights before hand, I remember we decided to go to IHOP for dinner cus I sure wasnt cooking breakfast. As we sat there, I just remember looking at my husband and never being more in love with him than when he looked back at me and said "for Christmas, when we get home, you are going to bed and sleeping for a long time." On one hand it was the most romantic thing he has ever done, on the other, I couldnt help but wonder how bad I must have looked that he looked at me and offered it. Oh well, I decided today wasnt the day to discuss it, I was gonna SLEEP! It was glorious!
Today, she is an adorable little girl with a developing sense of humor. She has a big personality and loves to dance and sing with any music. She has a huge interest in my laptop and always leaves handprints on the screen, as a result of her big curiosity. Im thinking one of her birthday gifts will be a child's learning laptop. I know it probably still wont be as cool as the real thing but hopefully it will buy me a few less handprints.
We are planning to throw her party in January. I dont want to inconvenience anyone's holiday and travel plans. So since she doesnt know the difference yet we will be doing it one month later.
