Friday Brain Dump

My mind is going a million directions right now.  I think it's the same for everyone, though!  Maternity leave is not relaxing trying to get ready for Christmas!  So, random thoughts from scatterbrained me...

I don't remember what I did more than 2 days ago!  Seriously...it's that bad.

Christmas, in particular Christmas sweets, are not helping lose this baby weight.

Speaking of Christmas candy, I made some of this and cannot stop eating it!!  I packed up all the treat bags to give away so I would not grab a bite every single time I walked by.  However, there are still crumbs that I couldn't justify throwing away.  I think the little pieces would be good on vanilla ice cream!

I need to start working out more than once a week.  I have run the past couple of weekends, but I need to figure out a way to fit it in during the week.  I forget when I can take Levi jogging in the jogging stroller...anyone?  We have the car seat adapter...

I have slowly but surely been crossing things off my do to list...wahoo!

I remember now what I did on Tuesday...went to the Dr. (6 week check up) and to the Dentist.  No cavities!

Levi has had a couple of rough days napping.  I think it has to do with us being out and about each morning.  (Remember that to-do list I mentioned?!)  Anyway, I vowed not to leave the house today and he did much better.  I think he gets overtired very easy!  We also put him to bed earlier last night and he slept like a champ.  He's had a couple of nights with 7 or 8 hour stretches between feedings, but this is definitely not the norm.  He also has a really hard time going to bed at night.  Overtired?  Not sure...I think we are going to start putting him down before Connor and see how that goes.

Connor may look like his daddy, but he sleeps like me.  Being awake feeding Levi in the wee morning hours, I have heard him talking in his sleep several times!  He's funny to watch, too...love our new video monitor!  He is also still chatting away in bed an hour after we laid him down.  Maybe it'll help letting him stay up a bit later...at least he is happy and not complaining about it!

And here are some pictures if you stuck with me through all my rambling.  (Or, for those who just scrolled down looking for pics!)

Connor always asks me to scoot Levi over so he can lay with him!

Connor was on a boat ride!  Very imaginative these days.

Happy Boy.

Not a good picture, but I love how you can see the smile he is giving his big brother!

Thank you, Pinterest, for keeping my child entertained!
