Even though we cancelled our trip to the NC mountains, Scott still decided to take Friday off from work to help me with Whit since I was still feeling a bit under the weather myself. These past three days, my wonderful husband has truly been a lifesaver. He gave me sleep when I so desperately needed it, he gave me breaks throughout the day, he helped me give medicine to Whit, I could go on and on. He is the most selfless, caring man in the world, and he really is the best father to Whit. He is a true family man in every sense of the word. Anyway, unfortunately, Whit has started to wake up multiple times during the night, and it is getting harder and harder to get him to go back to sleep once he is up. In the past, all I would have to do is nurse him for about 10 minutes, and he would be out like a light, but throughout the past few days, I have had to nurse him for a long while and then rock him to sleep, which results in me being wide awake, unfortunately. Luckily, Scott let me go back to sleep when Whit woke up at 5am on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Yes, 5am, not 6 or 7am like he usually does. Yuck! Even though we had a sick baby on our hands and didn't feel that great ourselves, we still managed to enjoy the weekend together. It was rainy and nasty on Friday, so we spent most of the day in bed, playing with Whit and watching episodes of "The Office." We now own all 4 seasons on DVD, so yes, we're hopelessly addicted! We did venture out to Target for a few things, but other than that, we stayed at home. On Friday night, we ordered in pizza and watched The Notebook, one of my favorite chick flicks. On Saturday, we did a little shopping at Borders and Kohl's, and then went home and watched Tech beat Clemson! Yay for the Jackets, who are now 6-1. After the game, we went to The Forum because it was such a beautiful day, and we thought the fresh air would do us all good, which it totally did. I was feeling very domestic, so I bought a really cute apron at Williams-Sonoma, so that means I need to start cooking a lot more so I can get some use out of it! On Sunday, Scott tutored for a while, and then we decided that since the weather was beautiful again, we would do some shopping at The Avenues, an outdoor mall in East Cobb. Whit just loves going shopping in his stroller these days because he knows we will give him some Gerber Graduates Puffs or Cheerios, his two favorite foods! On Sunday night, we made dinner together and watched our two Showtime shows, Dexter and Californication. Even though I am completely exhausted from waking up with Whit so much during the night, it really was a super weekend with my boys! On the health front, Whit seems to be feeling a lot better. He still has moments where I can tell he doesn't feel good at all, but for the most part, he is in his usual great spirits. He is now pulling up on everything constantly...furniture, us, the baby gates, you name it. He is also cruising furniture more, too. I guess you could say he is an on the go little tyke these days! Over the weekend, we decided to institute a pajama only rule, which meant that when we were at home, all of us had to be wearing comfy PJ's. Since it was colder outside than it has been, we put Whit in some of his new long sleeved footy Carter's pajamas, and he looked SO adorable in them! Oh, how I love babies in footy PJ's!
