From my old Blog--Daylight Savings Chaos

Happy Halloween Everyone!!!
Daylight Savings Time is not meant to be family friendly. Apparently my son did not get the memo that Daylight Savings Time began this morning so he decided to wake me up at 3am new time and then again at 5:15 new time. To make matters worse, he wouldn't go back to sleep again.
People may think it is great to have an extra hour of sleep in the fall. Noone ever thinks the spring time change is that great. Basically all this time change did for me was cause chaos in my life.
I want those people that think the time change is great to come to our house for the next couple weeks at about 4am to feed and diaper the baby and then try and convince him that he needs to follow the time change rules and get an extra hour of sleep.
I thought getting up at 5 every morning was bad!

From my old Blog--An Update on Me

Hi. I'm here and I have survived the 6 month shots... and so has Captain. He got three today and is doing quite well tonight; although, from past experience, I know that he usually does worse the day after he gets his shots than the day that he gets them. He is a whopping 14 lbs 10 oz and is 25.5 inches long. He is in the 10th percentile for both. It is nice because my back is still surviving.
We might go tomorrow to pick up the new crib and mattress for the new baby. I have also ordered a car seat for Captain to move into once his new sibling is born... I just hope that he is able to use it when we need him to. He needs to be 20 pounds and 1 year, but like I said he is pretty small and he has been gaining only about a pound per month. If he continues at this rate he should be fine.... but then there is that other part about him needing to be one year old before he is forward facing.... the baby is due before he will be one. I guess we will find out when the time comes, but I'm just trying to figure this all out and make sure we are all being safe. We all know that having two children ride in one seat is not possible...
