We have an almost three month old, so of course we’re not getting enough sleep, right? Only our baby sleeps great straight through the night. It’s the others that are waking us up. They’ve been doing better about not fussing when they wake up the past few nights, but they’ve both got colds so they tend to cough and such which keeps us all awake anyway. It was all I could do to force myself out of bed and into the shower this morning. Hopefully there’ll be a family nap time this afternoon. Yesterday Charis decided not to take a good afternoon nap, so we’ll see how it goes today.
One of Alexis’ teachers, Miss Hanna, was on Wheel of Fortune last night. We couldn’t watch it because we don’t get any channels on our tv (we just have it for videos), but I had my mom tape it so Alexis can watch it next week. From what my mom said, Miss Hanna hit “bankrupt” and didn’t end up winning anything but the consolation prize money. Even that’s $1000, though. That’s a nice consolation. 🙂
Joel is headed to Miami for business next week, so my mom will be staying with me to help with the girls. I’m ok with them for the most part at this point, but it’s hard to get them all ready in the morning in time to get Alexis to preschool. Joel’s been taking her most mornings so we don’t have to worry about getting the other two ready to get out the door. Even when I drive Alexis in, Joel is here to help me get all of them ready. If it wasn’t for that, I probably wouldn’t need the help, though it’s still nice to have it.
I’ve still been losing my pregnancy weight. My doctor upped my dose of antidepressant, and I’m actually wondering if it’s causing me to lose weight faster. I know SRI’s can do that for some people (though from what I hear they make other people gain weight). I’ve been trying to control my portion sizes and my junk food intake, too, though, so maybe it’s just that that’s working. Whatever the reason, I’m glad the weight’s going down. I have 5 1/2 more pounds till my pre-Croatia weight, and 15 1/2 till my prepregnancy weight. (I lost 10 pounds when I went to Croatia, but I only got to enjoy that for a month or so before I started gaining pregnancy weight.) Considering I’ve already lost about 35 pounds of what I had gained, I’m not doing too badly. 🙂
I should go and figure out what else I need to do before getting Charis up. I can’t think very clearly, but I’m quite certain I have things that I should accomplish today.
