The last week has been crazy busy, or at least it seems like it now. We had a Sounders viewing party at the house, with a few more people than the week before. I was so worried I wasn't going to have enough food! I made this concoction that I am now calling potato nachos (potatoes, taco seasoned ground beef, and cheese) which seemed to be a big hit, baked ravioli, quesadillas, and sandwiches...I guess it was quite a bit of food. I also made cake balls, my first attempt!!! They turned out pretty good if I do say so myself. I used strawberry cake mix and chocolate butter frosting with some coconut flakes added rolled in sugar, instead of candy coating. They flew of the table in comparison to the other desserts.
Jeanette and Jared's parents stayed the weekend with us. I was good to see them all. And Lily didn't get too cranky with anyone, I think she's getting better about seeing other people now. Her sleeping schedule is not getting better though. She was doing so well for a while only waking up once or twice a night. But it seems like since she got sick with that crazy cough of hers everything is up in arms! She's waking up every hour or two, which means so am I. Some people say let her cry, but I'm just not comfortable with that. I can't sleep through her crying, and I really don't want her to wake up Jared. I want him to get as much sleep as possible since he's the one getting up in the morning going to work and school. Up until about midnight I can usually
just pick Lily up, pat her back and she'll go right back to sleep. But after midnight she won't go back to sleep without nursing, and then she'll only stay asleep as long as she feels skin. So from midnight or 1 I move out on to the couch with her, sleep for a couple hours then its up for the day at around 5 or 6. Sometimes she'll go back to sleep with me for an hour, which keeps me slightly more sane. I've started a journal for her, keeping track of when she is sleeping and eating...hopefully I can find a pattern and it will help me to get her on a better schedule. We will see though.
I've been feeling crazy old lately! I just saw on Facebook that Lani just turned 7! I remember when Jessi was preggers with her! Lily is sitting up on her own now, starting to roll over and scoot on the floor. It's only a matter of time before she is walking, talking, and turning 7 too! I guess I'm feeling old too because my birthday is just around the corner. 24, When did that happen?! I had a plan of where I'd be at 24 in high school...I am far from that plan, but everything happens for a reason. At this point I'm struggling with future plans. I don't know if it is just because I don't want to get any older, or because I don't want to move on, maybe it's just fear of not following my plans again. Oh well, just gotta keep moving forward and not living in the past.
