1. It is really on my mind lately that I only have two weeks until I return to work. Oh, why don’t we live across the river in Canada so I could have a year off?! I am having fun figuring out the new schedule and looking forward to the routine of work, though. (sick, I know, I’m really anal!)
2. I got Andrew dressed before he left his room in the morning. We’ve gotten in the bad habit of letting him watch Curious George in his PJs and then having massive fits when he needs to get dressed. I want him dressed before tv when I go to work. It went wonderfully this morning…
3. Extra snuggles while feeding Claire. Soon enough, I’ll only be able to give her one or two bottles a day. I might be fighting with her dad for the 9pm bottle, but I know the 5 am is all mine:)

1. The outpouring of love for my younger cousin, Nikki. She had a molar pregnancy and had to have a D&C today. We are waiting to see if it’s all cleared up and hoping it isn’t cancerous. Scary and heartwrenching. I can’t imagine loosing a pregnancy.
2. Playdate with X and his baby brother, L. When X was leaving, Andrew asked if he could take his nap and climbed into bed! I told LeeAnn they could come over any time!
3. After nap, I wanted to take A to the teacher store to pick out reward stickers. (we need to fix the am fits). Andrew did not want to go. To the toy store. Are you crazy, boy? It was so funny!

1. Claire’s 2month checkup. 10 lbs 14oz. 50 percentile. I’m very pleased, but a little surprised. She doesn’t seem that big. Dr also agreed we can drop the midnight bottle!
2. Megan was here to watch Claire while I ran errands. I only managed to ship a package before i got a call with Claire screaming in the background. I’m glad M called me instead of them both suffering. (she was hungry an hour early:)
3. Discussing the need for a date night. Trying tofigure out who to trust with both kids.
