Every morning this week , Logan comes in to my room and gets in bed with me at about 7:00. Thus, waking myself and Landry! Then I have to get up with Landry and by 9:00 when she finally starts to drift off....Logan wakes up! Grrrrrr! I am sleepy. I love it though....not the being sleepy part, but the part that I get to spend time with JUST Landry, and then when she goes to bed its JUST Logan and me. I love that they each get their individual "Mommy time".
I realized last night that I am definitely leaning towards having another baby. Not any time soon, but maybe in about three years! Landry is so sweet, I love this stage. I remember getting so frustrated waking up in the night with Logan... not all the time but I remember it being harder. Of course Logan was sleeping through the night by 4 weeks. Landry is nearly nine weeks old and still gets up for a feeding in the night/early morning. She can sleep about 5 hours straight....six every once in a while! I think I was frustrated with Logan because I had to get up, feed him a bottle of breastmilk, and then go pump, which took about 30 minutes because I only had a single electric instead of a double. So I was much more tired back then. Getting up with Landry doesn't even bother me....I am only awake for about 10-15 minutes. Anyway, she is just so sweet, and so happy. She smiles all the time...she is cooing a little bit, but not much...when I talk to her she just smiles...I love it. I love watching her smile in response to JR.
Anyway - I was thinking about this past year and what events took place and what the new year will bring. This year, I was married, took my first trip to Vegas, spent an entire week away from Logan (twice), had a beautiful baby, lost my grandfather, moved to a new house in a entirely different part of the city, made new friends, potty trained my son (still in progress), and while the list doesn't seem like it is that long for 12 months...it is plentiful. 2009 brought so much joy and some heartache as well, but I am excited about the new year to come. I have some amazing news to share, but that will have to wait for at least another week or so.....(nope, I am not pregnant! ARE YOU CRAZY - it is WAY to early for that...I said in three years!) When I think about this time next year, I think about the fact that Logan will be almost 4 - can you believe it? Why does 4 seem like such a bigger number than 3? Tears actually come to my eyes when I think about my baby boy being a 4 year old! I still can't say that he is almost 3...I always say 2 1/2...LOL! Landry will be a year old and will probably be walking all over the place...I imagine her even now....Her hair braided or in a ponytail or pigtails with a big bow, with JR and I hanging on her every move, totally enamored with our princess. Logan helping his sister with presents and getting irritated with her too. (I am not delusional!) While I can't wait, I also just want to enjoy every second with my kids and my family. Logan is growing up so fast, he can be such a stinker, but so full of love as well.
I can't believe JR and I will be celebrating our one year wedding anniversary in March, or even our 4 year anniversary Feb. 2. CRAZY! This is going to be an amazing year...I just can't wait. We have so many plans....plus I think that financially we will be in a better place. In March we will be getting rid of two major bills...due to our income tax return....we get to pay off some debt - which will be awesome!
Well - I am done with this crazy blog....if you cant tell - I am super excited about the coming year!
