Last night I slept in my bed for the first time since coming home. I had a wicked headache and after spending the last few nights on chairs and couches and the foot of Lily's bed, I desperately needed the sleep. Lainey slept for over four solid hours and woke around 3:30am. She is such a champ! Cooper had crawled in with me fifteen minutes before she woke. Juggling keeping him in bed and feeding/resting has been tricky. I fed her, changed her, fed her again and put her back to sleep. Cooper then whined for a solid 45 minutes before settling back to bed. I crawled back into bed at 5:00am hoping for another solid hour of sleep before I had to wake up and do the morning routine.
A sweet friend came by after the kids had left for school and offered to do my dishes and tidy my kitchen up. It was so nice to visit and chat and have the extra help. The service was much appreciated! Shortly after she had gone home, another friend dropped by with a freezer meal and an adorable diaper cake!
Much of my day was spent on the couch nursing and snuggling. I love hanging out with these guys all day!
In the early evening our loving relief society president brought dinner by. Just after she left, the power went out and we ended up eating by lamp/candle light. It was kind of a fun time! The kids went sledding in the dark and assured me their eyes would adjust and they wouldn't knock into each other or hit any trees. The power came on just before bedtime and soon the house was quiet and still.
