Today I was dragging, for sure. I don't know why, but I was just absolutely exhausted. I had to peel myself out of bed...extremely late...this morning. Sure, yesterday was a busy day, but I guess I didn't realize how much. It didn't help that Amelia woke up around 4:00 this morning. Boo, I forgot how horrible that was. Seriously, the minute your baby starts sleeping through the night, you forget how horrible the not sleeping through the night is. Honestly, I'm not even sure who woke who up. Olivia was crying because she had to go to the bathroom. When I went in to escort her, Amelia was standing there, and started crying as soon as she saw me. So, we did what I've been fighting for a while...gave her a bottle of milk to get her back to sleep. I try with all my might to keep bottles strictly for before bed and before naps...but we needed that last little bit of sleep, and she didn't eat great last night, so she needed the calories.
On that topic, I'm really wanting to get Amelia off the bottle. Right around this time, Olivia was done. But, she was better about getting herself to sleep at this point. Amelia still needs that comfort before sleep, and I don't know how to break her of it. I just know, I hate the bottle, and I can't wait until she's done!
I was busy as usual at work, and I'm finally getting some time throughout the day to get some of that "busy" not-so-fun work done. It's not REALLY fun, but it is necessary. I did get a BIG contract with the U of M executed today though, which opens the flood gates to a lot more contracts, so I'm going to be beyond swamped next week, and it scares me a little.
After work, I did the dishes and made dinner. We all sat down, chatted and ate a yummy spaghetti dinner, then proceeded to play the night away. We did get a sneak peak at the girls' paint pictures from last night, and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them! You can check out our photographers blog here to see them. Can't wait to see the rest, along with the every day family pics that we did.
I didn't take any pictures today. But here is one from a year ago...my tiny baby!
