Could you help mom out a little?


Dear Kate and Riley,
Your little brother is THREE months old! He is getting bigger every day, I can't believe how fast it is going by. This time last year is when I first found out I was pregnant. It was such a scary time. This is where YOU come in. Little Zachary had been doing a GREAT job of sleeping right before Christmas. I was feeling GOOD and getting a lot done and just feeling all around happy. I thought you were doing a really good job of watching over your baby brother and helping him sleep well at night. Well, what happened!? Zachary has stopped sleeping at night. He is waking up every half hour to hour all night long. I am so tired! I don't know what to do so I was hoping you could help me out and come hang out in his room and remind him how to sleep for 8 hours in a row again!

As for other things, Zachary is more fun every day. He is laughing a lot and that is my favorite thing in the whole world. He is getting so big I think he might just skip over 3-6 month clothes. He just grew out of his 0-3 clothes in the past week or so but now the 3-6 are already looking a little small! He rolled over from his tummy to his back too, I think it was an accident but we'll just call him "advanced" for now.

Other than trying to get Zachary to sleep, I am working hard at getting back into shape. After WAY too much time spent pregnant, I am a long way from the girl your dad married. There isn't much I can do about the stretch marks, but I am working on everything else. I got a jogging stroller for Christmas and Zach and I (and sometimes Bella) go running most days. (even the ones when I only get three hours of sleep!). Jessica is the one who got me into this mess and we started another blog about our running adventures here.

I have heard that...babies that go back to "not sleeping well" may be going through a growth spurt. Hopefully soon you'll get the sleep you need! And...I am so excited for the challenge Jessica presented to you! How fun! I love your story on that blog about your dog getting tangled in the wheel of your stroller! I was laughing SO hard! Good luck with everything!

Zachary is adorable!!! He is just sooo cute! I hope he goes back to sleeping 8 hours real soon too. Good luck on the jogging thing- it is always a lot better when you have a partner:) Have fun!

I hear you about getting your body back. I am dedicating the year of 2008 to MY body. Here's to hopin'.

It's just Melissa droping in on your blog to say hello. I can't believe how big Zachary is getting. Sawyer passed right through his 3-6 month because his mommy really wanted to get the most out of his 0-3 month wardrobe. Woops.
