Being April

I feel like I have been feeding this kid constantly for the last 24 hours. He has been awake most of the day since 5 am, and has been wanting to eat at least half of every hour of the day. I think I've gotten maybe an hour and a half break at one point in the day, but the rest of the time he has been a hungry hungry boy. He has been awake today more than ever before. Usually he is awake for a few hours in the morning, and then sleeps most of the day and then is awake for a few hours in the evening. Today, he got his few hours in the morning, took a very very short nap, then was awake all afternoon, then took a short nap before his evening awake period. Now it is just after nine and I was hoping that after his long wakeful day, he would be exhausted and go to sleep early and long, but alas, he is still wide awake. At least he is happy. He looks around at everything, especially lights, and people. For some reason he likes to look at the ceiling fan in the fa...

Today is the type of day where you just want to stay inside wrapped up in a warm and fuzzy blanket with some hot chocolate and look outside at the snow blowing everywhere and be grateful that you're inside and not outside. Unfortunately I'm almost out of diapers again... that means I have to go to the store... I just can't go without diapers. I packed up my diaper bag, put my baby in his car seat and went outside to get all of the snow off my car. Not two minutes was I out there before I hurried back inside unable to feel my fingers. Very little snow was actually removed from my car. Every attempt I would make to brush snow off was met with wind blowing the snow everywhere including my face and into my jacket and up my sleeves. After I git back inside I checked the outside temperature. 6 degrees. I have no idea what the wind chill was, but I'll bet it was much lower. Heather reassured me that she would call Tejay and have him get me some diaper...

I keep intending to write something because I enjoy writing for my family, although I really don't have much to say. My life the past week or so has been very... busy... while at the same time, I feel as if I am doing nothing at all. I am rarely doing nothing though. I feel like I am constantly changing diapers, or feeding him, or just holding him and talking to him. The rare occasions when he sleeps for more than 15 minutes I sleep as well. I've been having a hard time getting much of anything done. I haven't even showered for several days now just because I don't want him to wake up and be screaming until I get out of the shower and hear him. I did finally wash some laundry today. That has been needing to get done for a while now. I've been planning on going to the store for days now. I just realized a bit ago that I probably don't have enough diapers to last through the night. I was given a bunch of diapers that are way too big for...
