Night Feedings
No no, Aiden has been sleeping through the night for nearly a year, but in the last few weeks I have been doing some night feedings for a new family with triplets. In fact I am there right now, all babies are sleeping with full tummies, for the time being. It’s fun actually, I never stay up past 10pm anymore, and with them I am usually here until 4am or so, so I get a healthy dose of darkness. They are very sweet triplets, 5 weeks old, 2 girls and a boy, and they are very easy to care for, so far. Hopefully tonight will prove uneventful. I am almost halfway done with my shift, kinda sucks because I worked all day at the hospital and then I am doing this at night, but at least I have tomorrow off, and Brandon promised to get Aiden up in the morning, and let me sleep in.
Brandon and I are getting so excited to move, a bigger place is what we so desperately need. We have such a small space that every other week we are trying to pare down our stuff, so we won’t feel so crammed (literally, we live in a shoebox, it’s horrible) I don’t know what we are going to do with all this space. I really feel like our lives in general are going to improve. Aiden will actually have a bedroom, with a door (he currently sleeps in the loft, and we can’t so much as breathe in the livingroom or kitchen without waking him) and Brandon and I will no longer have to share a bathroom. I will no longer have to deal with laundry room psychos (refer to previous post) and we even have a yard with an herb garden!!!! how cool is that?!?!?!? I honestly think that when Brandon and I are at each other’s throats it boils down to living in such a small space, it just makes us uptight!!! So we will be able to get more organized and have a nice routine once Jan 1st comes along. I am sure we will have our style cramped during the holidays, staying with family is going to be interesting for Aiden, I am not sure how he is going to sleep away from home. I guess I will find out soon. It is nearly 1am and I am so tired, if I have to work nights I don’t know how I will ever manage, I am a wuss!!!! Now that I am in L&D it is very likely that I will have to work nights sometime next year, I am not looking forward to that, we’ll see how it goes, I might even like it.

Yesterday was my birthday, I am now 24, it sounds old!!! I had the best time though, Brandon and I got a baby sitter and headed off to Anaheim to go to Disneyland California Adventure Park. It’s basically at Disneyland, but it has bigger scarier rides. And since it was a Thursday in November we basically had the park to ourselves, it was FABULOUS!!!!! No waiting in line!!!! We rode on some many rides, we got exausted before the park closed. We ate Dinner at a Mexican place at downtown Disney, it was fun, I even got sung to by three Mariachi men, it was fun!!!
Brandon and I also got some really great news yesterday, as some of you know we have been looking for a bigger place to move into in Jan (when our current lease is up) I have been stressed out about it, because I have to do the work and I want to find a place before Brandon and I are in SD for two weeks the end of Dec. So needless to say it’s stressful. We can’t give a 30 notice until we have a place lined up and lots of places don’t advertise that far in advance, and we can’t really afford rent in two places at the same time. And the best time to look and pack? You guessed it, while we are on vacation in SD, and I could see myself browsing ad’s online, but it’s not the same as going and actually looking. So we looked at a place on Wednesday, it’s huge, three bedrooms plus and office and 2 and 1/2 bathrooms, a HUGE kitchen (our current kitchen is smaller than our walk-in closet) and it has a dining room, so we can finally get a table which is something we are both very excited about. No more eating dinner on the sofa!!!! Anyway our new lease starts Jan 1st so we have 4 days to get everything out and cleaned, which I feel is a good amount of time, especially since we are going to hire movers this time. We are also getting rid of the TV before we move, it’s huge and bulky and we hate it. Well maybe hate is a strong work, but it could double as a wrecking ball it’s so heavy, so whoever gets it from us is in for a surprise MUHAHAHAHA!!!!!! The other really cool thing about this place is we are renting it from someone who owns it, so it’s painted really fun, Aiden’s room has a blue (sky) ceiling so it will go really well with his jungle themed bedroom. So we are super excited about this place, which means more people have to come and visit us because we will have a guestroom!!!! Looking forward to seeing you all for the Holidays!!!
