aw mom, really?

Just a little post on Owen’s growth progress.  He’s doing great!  At four months he’s over 13 pounds, and over 24 inches long.

Yeah… I don’t remember exactly what the nurse said.  I was too busy making faces at my adorable child.  That’s right, I’m blaming HIM.

I really need to post these at the beginning of the day! I’ll have time tomorrow. Today’s color was Sweet Nectar. It was too light, but I did wear it all day (at least until it wore off because I ate lunch). I did not wear makeup however, as I got lightly sunburnt at the Flugtag on Saturday.

Okay, I know that airplane tickets + rental car was too expensive for our vacation this week, but after our drive from Portland, OR to southern California I have changed my mind.  Our road trip was stretched to twenty grueling hours, and poor little Owen was miserable most of the time in the car.  The little guy couldn’t get to sleep in his car seat, and then when he did manage to drop off a bump in the highway would jolt him back awake!

Anyway, we did make it here safely, albeit a little worse for wear.  Owen is enjoying his cousins immensely - they’re so entertaining!  Its so nice to be able to visit family.  And So Cal traffic is just as bad as I remember!  We are hoping to get out to see Wall-E today with all the kids, and to the San Diego Zoo tomorrow or the next day.  All in all, its been nice and relaxing, and that’s what a vacation should be!

Unfortunately I just haven’t had time lately. All together with me now: waaaaah!

The things you have to look forward to, o reader (if readers aren’t merely mythical figments of my imagination…) include traditions I want to pass down to my son, and my plans for being organized and working in the home when I am finally done with working outside of it! Also a review of Kung Fu Panda (sneak peek: it was FANTASTIC!) and a few of my favorite books.

Two more days till quit day, then ten days of work and I’m done!  So, 12 to go in total.

LOST is on tonight!  Hooray!

LOST won’t be on again until January!  Booo!

Well, we’re going to see Iron Man today. So the baby has been here for a little over a month and this is the second time we’re having a ‘date night.’ I’m excited!

Of course ‘night’ is loosely translated in this situation to read: a period of time no longer than four and a half hours. Still have to feed the little guy, after all! And it’ll probably be closer to three hours.

Still, can’t wait. And now bebe is crying and probably needs his diaper changed. Joy!

I should be sleeping, but I'm not.  Such a bad girl!

I was hoping we'd go to church tomorrow for the first time since Owen was born, but since the weather is going to be good, there are things that Ty needs/wants to get done instead and so we're not going.  I need to address all my thank-you cards from my baby shower (SUCH a procrastinator, I had them all written out and enveloped a week ago), and print up the baby announcements.

And, like I said, I should be sleeping.  BUT, I'm not.  Owen will be up probably around 3 and have his super fussy time that he likes to have (we've managed to move it from 11 pm - 3 am to 3 am - 7 am, and I'm not sure if that's an improvement), and of course by THEN I'll be exhausted.  Unlike last night, hubby isn't sleeping right now, he's at his mom's house, and so if he comes home in time for fussy time he'll be wanting to sleep.  I may not be able to shuffle the baby off on him and catch some zzzz's.

So, bed?  Yeah, I suppose.
