It has begun...

The separation anxiety has officially started, but only at nighttime of course! Oliver has been the BEST sleeper ever since he was born. he would go 5 hour stretches from the day he was born and at 6 weeks started sleeping 10 hours and soon after 12 hours. About 3 weeks ago he caught a cold that made him really congested, so it was a little harder for him to breath at night. He would wake up screaming I would cuddle him until he calmed down and put him back to bed. This would happen maybe 3 times a night... now he thinks this wonderful cuddle time should happen every night which don't get me wrong I love cuddling him but we need sleep too! Especially since there's another little bundle on the way! So last night was the first night of cry yourself to sleep/back to sleep and boy was it rough! An hour plus of screaming just to fall asleep and a couple more little crying fits in the middle of the night. I'm tired. He's tired. He's been waking up at 7 am everyday and has not been napping well. So please pray this ends soon so we can rest up in preparation for more sleepless nights.... I love my little Oliver and he brings so much joy, but it has been a little rough lately!

The loveliest time of year

Now that it's 80 degrees outside it doesn't quite feel like fall, but it soon will. I love everything about this season! The pumpkin spice lattes, the decorations, the eventually crispy air. It's all wonderful and I can't wait for all of the holidays to arrive. Even Halloween! Although I'll probably have to work AGAIN this year, I'll still try to enjoy it. Plus it's little Oliver's first holiday season so it's time to start some family traditions.....

Just a little hobby...

That's right people! I am going to learn how to sew! My very cute husband even offered to buy me a sewing machine. What a sweet guy. Many many cute things are to be made in the future, as soon as I perfect (well, learn) this very practical skill. I'm pretty excited about it...

Still waiting....

Yes, we're buying a condo. No, we haven't moved yet. We started this process at the end of June? Why yes we did. And it is now the end of September? Well it sure is. The entire process is stressful and such a test of my patience! Which yes, it has been reaffirmed through this whole thing that I am lacking a little, okay a lot, in that area. I am praying that all of the worries, stresses and that stupid feeling of being in limbo land would go away. I shouldn't let it bother me and yet I do.

We are currently living in a 1 bedroom apartment that is super tiny. Oliver sleeps in the living room, which is not fun at nap/sleep time. I can't really do anything outside of my bedroom that makes any noise because he knows its me and just wants to be held instead of sleeping. All of our stuff is half packed seeing that we were told "You'll be going into escrow next week and from there it's going to go really quick. Be ready" That was going on 4 weeks ago... So our little apartment full of boxes and stuff everywhere is kind of hard to live in right now. I'm just hoping this entire process is over soon! Plus we've been getting tons of cool stuff to put in our new place which I'm really excited to start doing :) Not to mention the completely awesome washer and dryer that my Grandma and Papa Mugg bought us! Yay we'll be able to start cloth diapering finally...

All of this to say I'm praying for patience. I can't wait to get back to normal, it makes life seem crazy and it goes by way too fast. Life slow down so I can enjoy my little boy while he is still little and while I still have him all to myself! I am REALLY REALLY REALLY excited for this new little baby to join our family, but it also makes me REALLY enjoy my time with baby Oliver while its still just him. I'm loving every second.
