Rambling

Roman is settling into a nice little pattern. It's called sleep and lots of it. I am sure that I cannot possibly be lucky enough for this to last forever, but Roman is sleeping through the night every other night or so, getting up and sleeping another four hours. He is awake for about two hours, twice a day and then three to four hours before bed. It is magical. He is also taking up to 7 oz bottles. I feel like I could be overfeeding him, but I googled it and it seems ok. Speaking of google, thank goodness for google. What exactly did people do before it?
I had a fabulous and much needed weekend this past weekend. It was spring break for JCPS so Kerry and Nikki visited Thursday. Nikki even babysat so I could rescue my broken flash drive. Christie hung out all day Friday. Then Saturday we all, plus Ashley, had girls night at Kerrys. It was my first, as Ashley said, "kid party". Highlights of cuteness include Liam meeting Roman and saying, "Oh that's M..." looking at his sister sitting on the floor, looking back at Roman, utterly confused as to who the baby, who was NOT his sister, was. Then Liam's lullaby to Roman, "It's niiiight, and you're sleeeeepy, and the owls, hoo, hoo. And there's cornnn..." What? Even better than all the kids cuteness-all the kids ASLEEP! My darling husband was kind enough to come pick me up from Kerry's, so I could enjoy my sangria, courtesy of Nikki.
In other news, I am thinking about starting Weight Watchers. My mom has recently lost 16 lbs doing it. I have lost 23 lbs since Roman was born. I have 12 to lose from the baby, and yes I regret gaining as much as I did. I would also like to lose another 8 (well really 18, but we'll stick with 8) that I was packing before ever getting pregnant. So my grand total would be 20 lbs. I am a terrible dieter and a worse exerciser. I actually eat really healthy, very little processed foods, all whole grains, etc. I am bad at dieting because I love tortilla chips, cookies (organic and multigrain, but still a cookie), and wine. I don't really want to fork out the money, but if it works... we'll see. I also really want to go to Pure Barre, but considering it is like a million dollars, that is definitely not happening.
Roman is smiling more and more. At everyone but me. Except for when I was singing a Jay Z song the other day when he woke up during my workout. He actually will turn away to smile at someone else, just to not smile at me. I swear, it really makes me miss my other kids, who love me back. Ooooh and I get to be their teacher again next year too, I am going to third grade with them! Back to my grumpy baby, he isn't bad, he doesn't cry much, but he is just a grumpy old man little thing! I hope he gets more cheerful!
Next week Annie is coming to KY for a visit and I am so excited! More girl time!!!! I need some Warren time too. We were supposed to have a date night last week, but he worked late, I had a rough day with the baby, and Zeus got sick which prevented Dad from being able to watch Roman. Soon, hopefully!
