Our sleeping arrangements at the moment...

As most of you know, Noah has been co-sleeping with me basically since birth.. there was a brief time when he was 3 1/2 months that he slept through the night, in his own room... ahh fond memories (that lasted about 2 weeks?)... Well, we never had a crib in England for him and when we finally left England, Noah was 11 1/2 months! Having never slept in a crib, we weren't sure if it was too late to get him started in one.. now if we were going straight to our next base - I definitely would have tried!!! 


This is our weekend sleeping arrangement...

This is when Noah is trying to fall asleep.. he goes between mummy and daddy, laying on our heads, chest, belly... such a silly boy.. 
About 97% of the time, Noah wants to lay right on top of me and fall asleep that way.. it is sometimes hard to breathe when I'm laying on my back with the extra 25 lbs from Noah and 20 lbs from my belly.. but that seems to be the only thing I can do to get him to sleep for his naps and at night... at least today he was down a bit further and had his head on my belly instead of his body.. that wasn't so bad.

And this is during the week... so daddy can get some rest for work! :) and I must add that last night, it was the other way around - I was on the couch and it was glorious!!! I had 6 1/2 hours of uninterrupted sleep! and I feel wonderful! :)

The joys of co-sleeping with a toddler!! :)  I wouldn't have it any other way.. I love waking up and the first thing I lay eyes on is my sweet baby boy!! Having said that, it is my mission to get Noah in his own room before our baby girl arrives (less than 9 weeks)!! Which means, today is bed shopping!!! Yay!!

Shame on me!

Obviously I have been horrible at keeping up with my blog.. I can name all sorts of excuses but the truth is I will spend about 30 min of FB, or looking to buy things online (but never do).. then when I'm done on the computer I think "oh, I should have written on my blog!" Well, not anymore! I'm going to update as often as I can, especially when our baby girl arrives.. I know that I will be busy but I also know I can always make time for something important; and I do believe this blog is important because I want to keep track of all the milestones - big or small - my babies make. I have already looked back at my previous posts and thought "wow, Noah did ____ at ____ age!" I do plan to fill the gaps since my last two posts were "Noah is 10 months!" and Noah's birth story.. that was one thing keeping me from starting a new post.. I wanted them to be in order! but hey as long as they are written with the dates that correspond, it will still serve its purpose :) and I have lots of pictures to help jog my memory!! :)

Ok rant over.

As most of you know, we recently moved to Grand Forks AFB, ND... our house is perfect! I will post a few pics soon.. and then once our house is finished (decorated/organized), I will post more!

I think I will end here. Our internet will be hooked up on Monday so I will probably post Tuesday or Wednesday "all about Noah" :)
