The Past Few Weeks
Things have been going well the past few weeks. Elizabeth and I are getting into a routine and that is making life easier. Also her sleeping pattern has calmed down. Most nights she is going to sleep around 10pm and then waking up around 4am. Some nights, and hopefully these will increase, she goes from 10 until around 6. That happened last night so today I feel absolutely fabulous.
Last weekend we went and visited with Travis's grandparents and then his dad and other members of that side of the family. Also got to watch the UFC fight because Danny (Travis's dad) ordered it. Very nice visit. Elizabeth got fussy at the end but it was getting late and she was tired. Once we got her in the car she was out for the count.
This weekend we have a couple of things planned. Saturday some friends of ours are coming down with their 5 month old son, Israel. We keep joking that we will hold off on arranging the kids' marriage until they're 10. I'm looking forward to them coming down since we haven't seen them in a while and I get to hang out with one of my other new-mom friends. Sunday we are going out to Mineola to visit my family. Stopping off to see my cousin, since he hasn't seen Elizabeth yet, then heading to my mom's and rounding out the visit by going out to my uncle's house on Lake Fork. I'm hoping we can see everyone and hit the road to come back home by 5:30ish, since I would prefer to not drive in the dark with sections of the highway under construction.
Unfortunately, there is one thing coming up I am not particularly looking forward to. Elizabeth has a doctor's appointment next week and will be getting some shots. Hopefully she doesn't get too fussy but we'll see. I know they are for her own good, but still, my poor baby.
