Sleep, Poop and a Wedding

I know I obsess about sleep but come on I don't function well on 4 hours of sleep, it is a well known fact!



Lucas has been having nightmares, which is really sad for the poor little guy but lets be honest it is annoying. I hate having to get up in the middle of the night for the little one, but now 2 crying children. Really when does the crying stop? Before you say it, I know one day I will miss all the love and attention and want them to go back to being so little blah blah blah. Right now I would settle for an uninterupted sleep.


Yesterday the doctor said "WOW that is a well breast fed baby" Crazy but somehow I felt proud about this, being a mom messes with your head. In my previous life I would never feel proud for doing something that my body does pretty much all by itself. Then a new thought flew into my head, are you calling my daughter fat??? Maybe I should be offended. See what sleep deprivation does to you, crazy thoughts in our heads.
We were at the doctors because Ava is having a hard time pooping (she is going to love me when she is older and her boyfriend gets to read this). I have to give her a suppository. I hope it works the first time because let me tell you I am not very excited about it. I have great expectations for this little thing maybe it will help Ava to;
  1. Sleep all night
  2. Be happy in the car
  3. Play nicely on her own

Somehow I think my expectations are too high.

Ava eating prunes, apparently it is not prunes but the juice that is the laxative, oh well she liked them anyway
