Finally feeling rested
August 10, 2008
Last night was the first good night I have had since Conor came home. They are feeding every three hours (they were up to 4 but reverted once home from the hospital, any tips on making their feedings further apart?) and w/ me feeding them both, I get about an hour to an hour and a half of sleep in between. Last night I did all of the feedings and tonight SHaun is doing them all so that we could both have a night of uninterrupted sleep. Shaun is taking this week off, which will be nice. And best of all my mom and dad will be here next weekend!!! More sleep for me! and my dad has yet to meet them so Im sure he is pretty excited.
I know most of you will think we are crazy but we have begun the search for a new house. Went to the bank, meet w/ realtor on Monday and then start looking at houses. I know it is a crazy time to do this but living in our house is driving me crazy. There is no room!!! Especially when we have people over to help w/ the babies. Now that their bouncy seats are set up in the living room, there is no room to walk in there. Im so excited to move. We plan on this next house to be the one we bring our kids up in so it is nice not to be rushed while looking (that is unless our house sells and we havent found anything).
Today there is a celebration of my Auntie Carole’s life in Regina. I really wish I could be there. So much of my family is there and I love getting together w/ the Straker’s. I must say I feel blessed to be in the Straker family. Everyone gets along so well and we all enjoy eachother’s company. I’m happy that so much of my aunt’s family and friends will be there to celebrate her life and the fact that she is now w/ the Lord. What an amazing person she was.

They look so content to be home. I totally get the no space thing too and the hassle of moving with young kids. As for the feeding thing. It is one of those things which they change up on you as they grow bigger. I am gathering from the post though that you guys are staying in Victoria? That is really cool. I am praying for you and think about you when I am having a tough day thinking just how tough your day is going. you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Justin and I spent the weekend putting the babies’ room together and getting it ready. It sure is making it real. It makes me excited when I see your precious little babies. They are so sweet. I can’t wait to meet our little guys.
And we are praying for all of Carols family. She was such a special lady. Something to aspire to in so many ways. God Bless!
