Lex had another 7 hour night last night.
Yay! But the problem with these longer nights is that it leaves
me with odd hours in the morning (and chock-full-o-milk and
ready to burst, but that’s another story). For example, this
morning the alarm was set for 5:30 (have to get to work a
little early so I can leave early :) ). Lex wakes up at 4:15,
so by the time he’s fed and sleeping again its 5:00 and I’m
wide awake. I think, well the alarm is going off in 1/2 hour
anyway, so I may as well stay up (’cause I’m wide awake). But
that means I’m starting the day at 4:15 in the morning! What’s
a person to do? Eat breakfast, blog, and take a nap on the way
to Franklin :)

I realized last night as
I was falling asleep that Lex has now passed his fourth
trimester. He’s really starting to look like a little
person these days, not as much like a helpless infant – except
when he gives me his sad little hungry cry. Then he’s just an
adorable tiny little thing.

While
searching for a good 4th trimester link, I came across this article. I like it. I also like
the quote, “what makes being a grandparent so great is that
finally you get to share the experience of parental love with
your child.”

Anyway, time flies when
you’re browsing the web before sunrise. I gotta go hit the
showers and get this day going. Happy Friday!!
