~Gotta Love Mondays~

If anyone knows where I can find a full nights sleep, please let me know.  I know the whole wake up many times a night is a for sure thing when you have a young baby, but I'm not used to it.  Zachary has been sleeping through the night for a while now, and now that he is doing this thing of waking up either in the middle of the night (midnight) or really early in the morning (4am), I'm dying by 12 noon!

Last night was pretty bad.  Poor Zach wasn't his normal self all day yesterday.  Cranky, droolie beyond imaginable and just blah.  His poor gums were fire red and he had loosie goosies in his diapers... No fun, for him or I.  He went to sleep pretty quickly last night and a little earlier than normal.  Just about 8pm.  Well, just about 10pm, he woke up screaming.  Poor Derek tried to comfort him in his room, but we just ended up bringing him to our room and putting him back to sleep in his bassinet.  He went back to sleep and then was up again at midnight!!  Screaming... Crying... Almost like he was in pain.  So, I gave him some baby tylenol and gave him a bottle.  He downed 4 ounces, burped 3 times!!!  and then fanny burped multiple times- Sorry Nae, I do say FART, but Fanny Burp is just what I grew up with!!

So, I'm guessing he also had gas ontop of his aching mouth.  Poor baby.  I'm thinking that the tylenol did help, because he slept until just about 5am.  Then he woke up crying again... I gave him some gas meds and fed him once more.  And then he fell asleep between Derek and I in our bed.  Ooops!!!  Can't get him too used to it, but it seemed to calm him down.

He was still asleep when I left the house at 730 this morning... Right along with his Daddy.  It was too cute!

Anywho.  Besides that, yesterday was a pretty good day.  We were out of the house by 1030am and off to do errands.  Our first stop was Walgreens Pharmacy, to pick up Zach's meds.  Well, at first, they were telling us that we couldn't pick it up because it was too soon!  Well, we had to show themour empty bottle (thank goodness I brought it!!) and be like, "Um no.  We need this, now".  So the clerk took the problem to the pharmasist (sp?) and she came back and said we were right.  I guess the insurance thought we were getting a 30 day supply and we were only getting a 10-12 day supply.  So, the insurance overrided the NO and gave us the meds!!!  And we should not have a problem from now on.

After the 15 mins spent at Walgreens, we were off to Home Depot.  We picked up two flat shelves and two corner shelves for Miss Rowan's bedroom.  We haven't gotten them up, but I'm sure they'll look good.  And the plus is that we don't have to paint them!  They came white :)  On our way out, we noticed that they had some flat-bed trailers for sale.  Well, Derek is looking for a trailer to haul his new quad, so we stopped and looked.  They were decently priced too.  And I think he might buy one in the next day or two.

He's going to need it because he is picking up his bike tomorrow!

After Home Depot came Target, where I proceeded to break a bottle of baby food... Ooops.  I felt so bad.  Oh well, its not like it never happens!  We picked up Rowan two new gym outfits.  Okay, so they are more dance than gym, but they were just too cute to pass up... And they'll work just fine!  I also got her some shoes.  They are too cute.  They look like ballerina slippers... The knew style ya know?  She picked out a pink pair and I grabbed her black ones too.  At $8.99, they were a good buy.  She is just in love with the pink ones.  Wore them all evening and then when she got up this morning, she literally got out of bed, went to her closet and put them on!!!  Too funny...

I also picked up that new Veet razorless shaving gel.  I know, it might not work, but I am tired of shaving my legs every other day... So, hopefully it will prolong that :D

We got out of there under $150!!  I was really suprised... And we got things that weren't on our list.  Hehe.  The only thing I wanted to get and didn't was a book case/tv stand.  See, we have this nitch in our bedroom and I was thinking if I could find a book case deep enough, with the top big enough to hold our tv, I'd be killing two birds with one stone.  I'd have a place to put my books and a tv stand.  But, we didn't find one deep enough... bummer.  If anyone knows where I can find one, that looks nice and not too expensive, just let me know!!

Okay guys.  I've gotta be going.  Monday's are always crazy.  And we've got plenty to do.  Tonight is gym class.  I think I'm going to take my camera to share some pics... Hopefully I won't forget it... hehe.

Have a wonderful Monday friends...
