2 Weeks!

My second little boy shouldn't even be here and yet he's 2 weeks old already! It seems like a dream, he just came so fast. At the moment he is sleeping in his bouncy seat, full with 3oz of my milk and with a fresh diaper.

Jeff and I had a little shopping day today! We bared the wind and cold temps to get out and do things as a new family of 4! We went to Florence to get a quick bite to eat and shop! We shopped for a friends wedding gift at Kohl's and a stop at Target to get some more Lansinoh breast milk bags. I'm already out of 50! I have 38 bags of frozen milk in the freezer- and it's only been 2 weeks! :) So I bought 50 more! The boy's Pediatrician said some women wouldn't sympathize with me as some don't produce as much milk as easily. The second time around is always easier, he said. I would agree.

Anyway, back to shopping! We also hit the Christmas Tree Store in Florence- we got a sparkly red bow for the front door, a new monogrammed front door mat, Christmas wrap, a Christmas table cloth, a huge brown fleece blanket and some cookies and chocolate covered peanuts! It was a neat place to go in and look around!

Then we stopped at the Airport to watch the airplanes land and take off! Charlie loved it! I got to sit and feed Wesley in private while Jeff and Charlie ate caramel/coffee cookies and admired the huge airplanes and runway lights. It was cute watching Charlie wave bye bye to the airplanes! :o) After feeding and changing diapers we decided to go shop some more at the Gap outlet- and shop we did! I got sleepers, hats, gloves, shoes, shirts and sweaters for both my boys! It was one of those times I walked out of the store with a bag full of clothes and none of them were for me. Actually, since I've had Charlie, that's happened a lot! But I don't mind! I feel like there will be a time that I can go out and buy something for myself. It's ok if it's not right now.

So then, we decided to come back home. We got to see the crown thing on the Great American building on the way back into the city. It was really cool looking!! We're tired! We had a nice time and I'm so ready to relax and go to bed and wake up and start another day!!

I'm looking forward to sleeping in, thanks to Jeff, because he gets up with the boys since I'm up all night with Wesley. Jeff has a really, really hard time of getting back to sleep once he's awake, thanks to night shifts and his body just not knowing how to get back to sleep since he's up all different hours- so I get up and collapse back in the bed and get up again 3 hours later! Actually Wesley let me sleep 4 hours in a row last night. Doesn't sound like much, but I know once he sleeps through the night I'll get so much sleep I won't even realize how sleep deprived I am right now! Haha! Jeff says, "I have no idea how you're awake right now- I'm dragging!" and I just reply, "You just do it..." It's one of those strong mom things- Motherhood- Bring it on!!

Well, it's late. Charlie's in the bed and I should turn in, too. Don't forget, this weekend is Daylight Savings Time!! That means Moms- we get another hour! Woohoo!!!!! :o) G'night ya'll!!!
