Things ahead.

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. The holidays have overcome this house, and between visits home and decorating and getting ready here, I've had neither the time nor the energy, or for that matter, the motivation to get on here. But that will soon change.

I won't be picking anything up for now, because my son, my dear dear son, is trying to kill via sleep deprivation. Today marks his 6 month birthday, and still, we get up 3 times a night, every three hours on the dot. It's quite impressive, actually, how punctual he is. I would be more impressed, however, if I was able to get maybe 5 hours in a row sometime soon. See? No lofty goals. I don't need the whole night. I can be patient. But I need more than three hours. I NEED MORE THAN THREE HOURS!!!

On that note, I expect this blog to gather some dust in the next few weeks, and for that I apologize. We are not only getting ready for the holidays in this house; we are also preparing for Paul's deployment, which is just about a month away. I am getting possesive in a big way of our time together from this point forward, and I just don't have it in me to spend my time on the computer right now.

So check in from time to time, but don't expect much. Come January 14th, however, I will be on here diligently, as it will be my way of keeping Paul in the loop of our day-to-days.

See you in a few! Have a wonderful and very BLESSED Christmas! Savor the time you have with your loved ones, and keep those ones in mind who have sacrificed this time with family to protect our way of life!

Hey - glad you updated. My son was the same way about NOT sleeping. He was 6 months when he finally slept thru the night. My trick: letting sleep on his tummy. It helped SO much. I know the whole "back to sleep" thing, but I really "felt" he would be okay on his tummy and never looked back. Maybe that might be it... but if you don't feel comfortable with it - don't try it. My doctor approved it after the fact, so that was reassuring to me.
when you say "deployment" does that mean your hubby is in the military? How long will you be separated?
Hope your holidays are good!
