Here's our Wednesday update:
1. I hear today was nice outside. I wouldn't know, as I didn't step outside until about five o clock this afternoon. I had all intentions of doing so; time just got away from me.
2. BT and I got out of the house yesterday and went to Brookwood Mall. It was nice to escape, if only for an hour. That was as much time as we had in between feedings.
3. We are feeding every two hours during the day. It's a task for me, but for the past two nights has paid off. We got a total of 8.5 hours of sleep last night. Of course, it wasn't uninterrupted sleep by any means, but a combined 8 hours is good enough for me. Thomas slept from 11:00-1:15, from 2:00-5:00, and from 6am-9:45am. I woke up by myself at 9:30 wondering what was going on. I couldn't believe it. I am knocking on wood right now because I don't anticipate it staying this way, but either way, I was grateful for the sleep last night. I have a feeling he will not be as cooperative tonight for some reason. Maybe it's just me not wanting to jinx anything.
4. BT went back to work today so it was me and the mother-in-law. It has been nice to have the extra hands for sure. She is going home on Friday so BT and I can enjoy the weekend together just the three of us. She is a good lady.
5. Have you watched "Modern Family?" If not, you're totally missing the best new show on TV. It's HYSTERICAL.
Until next time...
