A Few Fun Finds

I have about 5 minutes before Cash wakes up for the day (sleeping this late is VERY unusual mind you) so I have to type reallllllllll fast. Cash started sleeping through the night around like 6 weeks old. We were shocked, naive, and all like ''well that's not as bad as people say?!?!" Literally he would sleep from like 8 PM to 8 AM. Heaven, right? Yeah, until he was around 4-5 months old. Then that stopped. Out of nowhere. Isn't that backwards? I'm pretty sure I would rather have a newborn up all night and then transition to sleeping through the night because ever since that one night he woke up during the night he never stopped...here we are 5 months later and it's gotten even worse. We have 6 weeks until baby girl comes and I'm determined to figure something out.  We have seriously tried almost e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g. I have ordered every book off Amazon, I have met with doctors, we have tried CIO, Ferber, bla bla bla. You name it, we've tried it.

9 more weeks until we become a family of four. i'm still trying to wrap my head around it all. 2 kids to feed, 2 kids to bathe, 2 kids to take to the grocery store. then i start thinking about how i never had a sister or brother growing up. and how excited i am to see cash as a big brother. and to watch him watch his sister. and to watch her love her brother. all these things make me happy. and all warm and fuzzy inside. in other news, feeding a 10 month old is HARD WORK you guys. definitely one of the biggest hurdles i've faced in motherhood so far (besides you know the whole lack of sleep thing). but planning out meals and introducing new foods and getting him to actually sit in the high chair for more than 5 minutes- it's exhaaaausting. he pretty much only likes bananas and guac at this point. and of course that donut that mom sneaks in every week from shipleys (is it so wrong?) oh and cashy started SCHOOL last week! well mother's day out, but you get the point.
