ezekiel rolls, diedre naps


ezekiel rolled over today! stomach to back (the easy way) but still, he is really young to be doing that! just over 3 weeks old.

anyway, diedre slept alone in her room on saturday and sunday nights. she napped in the car on the way to each party (an hour or close to each day) and then was asleep in the car when we arrived home. she woke up lightly but managed to fall asleep alone. she is sleeping on her side of the futon on the floor.

also, she napped today in her room for a looong time and since we have Care Group tonight, i figured it didnt really matter. maybe she's coming out of her separation anxiety, i sure hope so!

i am so happy to have had a nap finally!!! yay!!! that being written, derek has made it possible for me to have morning naps when he's around (on the weekends) but its not quite the same as the afternoon naps when i need to be recharged.

also, some friends that i've met through playgroup threw ezekiel a baby welcome today. it was really nice :)

diedre has received many nice big sister gifts so maybe that's helping to ease the anxiety too ha ha

wowzers, ezekiel, you are one strong baby!

maybe diedre is experiencing a bit of jealousy over ezekiel's birth. seems like a good way (for her) to get more of momma's attention is just to not nap. i hope she figures out that it's not such a great plan.

also, with the holidays coming, all that can be pretty overwhelming too. AND teething! poor lil sweetie.

i hope everything settles down for you guys soon. it's hard to be a good momma when you're tired.

Glad to hear Diedre's sleeping might be improving. It's tough enough to deal with a newborn's sleep issues - we definitely don't need to add toddler sleep issues to the mix!
That's pretty good that Ezekiel rolled over! He's going to be a strong boy!
