Tired

Today, I am tired... flippin' exhausted really... I didn't get much sleep last night, part of it is my fault. I didn't go to bed until after 1am, and I should've known better!! Griffyn went to bed about 8:30 and then woke up to eat around 12:30. Well, last night was the first time I've put her to bed without her swaddle blanket, because it's getting too small, and she went to bed fine without it, but woke up a lot more often. I'm not sure if it's just a coincidence or if it was because she wasn't in it. Either way, she woke up again about 2:30, so I held her and she fell asleep again. Then woke up again about 6:30 and ate. Justin got home from work and when he came to bed, about 7:45 he was sneezing like crazy, lol, and she woke up again and was wiiidddddeeeee awake. So I held her for awhile and she fell back asleep eventually, but then was back up at 9:30. I gave her a bottle and brought her to the living room so Justin could sleep, she finally decided she would take a nap about 11:30, and that was for maybe 10 min. And that's pretty much how it went all day, she would fall asleep if I was holding her, but as soon as I put her down she was wide awake like she had never been out! lol So anyway, I finally decided to go lay down with her about 5:30 or so and she went to sleep and so did I. We just woke up about 9pm tonight. lol It felt good to sleep and I know she needed it. I'm sad I missed out on getting either a run or bike ride in tonight though! :( Guess I'll just have to do more tomorrow! It sure felt good to snuggle with her though! :) So I gave her a bottle and we chilled for a little bit and now she's back in bed and out, so let's hope tonight is better! :)

I can't believe she is 15 weeks already!! It's crazy how the time has flown by! It still feels like she should only be a few days or weeks old. We weighed her today and she weighs 12lbs, according to our scale. :) I can't believe she's on her way to being 4 months old! I'm not gonna lie, I'm starting to get more and more nervous about SIDS. The few blogs I read, that babies have died of SIDS, they all passed away around 4 months. Isn't that strange? They say the most prevalent time is like between 2 and 6 months, but can happen up to a year old. It's scary, really really scary to think about. I don't know what I would do if something EVER happened to my baby girl....... My heart breaks for the mommies that now have angel babies because of SIDS. It's just such a sad sad thing.

Well let's see, things I'm looking forward to in the near future.... I get to go see my bestie Megan on Friday in Great Bend! I'm pretty excited for that! She hasn't seen G since she was just a few days old! She's gonna be shocked at how big she is now! I'm really looking forward to that. Saturday is the day I'm singing in Hoisington for the baby pageant thing. My parents are gonna keep G since Justin will be working. It should only be like a morning thing I'm thinking. It'll be nice to see them too!! It's been a couple weeks. :) I can't believe tomorrow is the last day of August! September is so close! I'm excited. Fall is my FAVORITE time of year. I love "sweatshirt" weather. :) Let's hope we actually get some of this year! Of course that also means in a couple weeks the fair will be here!! 9 days to be exact! I'm really looking forward to that. Justin wants to try to go to a KSU game, the weekend of the 17th, but it'll just depend if we can get tix and if he ends up being off that weekend. Then at the end of Sept my bestie Tara's hubby comes home from Afghanistan for leave for 2 weeks! It'll be great to see him too and I know they are both really looking forward to that! So, some pretty exciting stuff coming up!

I keep thinking about my friend Katie Wade. Her husband is a Marine and he died in Afghanistan on Dec. 1st 2010. She's having a tough time and my heart just breaks for her. I don't know how she does it. I don't know what I would ever do if I lost Justin. I just can't imagine how much she hurts every single day, how lost she must feel that her hero never came home..... She's usually so positive on FB and on her blog, as much as she can be anyway, she's so strong, it's amazing. But the last few days, she's just had a really tough time. I'm sure a lot of it has to do with their wedding anniversary coming up on Sept 9th... If you could, just say an extra prayer for her that God continues to give her strength and peace, and also just be thankful to her and her husband, that they paid the ultimate price for OUR freedom. <3 Praying for you Katie... Keep your head up!

Well, I'm exhausted tonight, so I think I'm gonna go take a bath and head back to bed. I hope you all enjoyed your Tuesday! It's hump day tomorrow! Halfway to the weekend ya'll!! :) :)
