Disclaimer: I am sicker than sick and on LOTS of Tylenol (since it's the only safe remedy while nursing) so if this blog post is nonsensical, just go about your business and pretend you never read it.
So a month has come and gone and Baby K is a HUGE baby. Almost 11 lbs already -- just about 4 lbs of weight gain in as many weeks. Which makes me wonder...if he's gaining, why aren't I losing?
But I digress...
Hunter still is doing really well with his little brother. On occasion, he'll steal his blankie or lovie and run around the living room whooping and hollering triumphantly but usually he just gives him kisses and says "bebe bubba" repeatedly.
The chapter of our life here in Orlando is coming to a gradual close...we're debating between Austin and Atlanta *Buckhead* for our next home since Travis has been offered jobs in both locations. We're hoping to have made a decision by the end of this week. I'll post more when we decide.
While I love living here, close to friends and family, it's also exhausting...every weekend we're booked with Birthday parties and other events -- while it's a good thing it's also taking a toll on me while I am still adjusting to semi-sleepless nights of nursing an infant. I'm looking forward to having our own space and establishing a much needed routine with Kingston. By this time, Hunter was in his own crib yet Kingston still curls up next to me to fall asleep at night. I relish it but also know it'll be my downfall if I don't sleep train him soon. I refuse to have a 1-year old still keeping me up at night.
It's bittersweet having Baby K grow up so fast...bitter because chances are good he's our last child and I want him to stay "baby" for as long as possible...sweet because he seems like he's in a rush to play with his big brother and I can't wait to see the dynamic between the two of them.
Our lives have morphed quickly from BFGF in Orlando -- to moving to NY -- to married and pregnant -- to a family of four. Now I feel like I have everything I want -- all the love I can ask for from my husband and two sons -- and it doesn't really matter where we are or what we're doing. I just want to be together. It's such a simple desire and one I am sure most moms can relate to...I've never cherished anything more and I've never wanted anything so easily attained.
I'm signing off for now...need a nap and some rehydration. Here's hoping the baby stays well...
