Back Home

We are back in Indiana after a 13 hour drive and a day of unpacking/grocery shopping. I think both Everett and I have had a tiny cold which has made me tired even after a great night of sleep last night (10pm-4am!). We are trying to slowly introduce the concept of the crib and separate bedroom to Everett and the new baby monitor is a huge help. We attempted to put Ev to sleep in his crib last night, but after about 1.5 hours of crying, consoling, and repeating, we gave up. Yes, yes, I'm a wimp and I let my baby snuggle up in bed with me instead of enforcing a bedtime and letting him cry, but neither of us are ready for it yet. This also means that I am not ready to return to work....I go in to talk to my boss next week but, with the exception of last night, Everett is not sleeping well enough at night for me to even consider going back full-time. We need to contact some more daycares since we still do not have a secured slot and that really means I can't go back yet. I'm hoping we'll be able to work things out with me going back half days or something....we'll see I guess.
I'll try to get some more pictures soon. Right now, efforts must be focused on cleaning the apartment and organizing. As you might guess, housework didn't really happen in those first two weeks and then we left for three more. So now....eek!
Since I failed again at putting Ever down in his crib for a nap, I shall go retrieve the fussing babe. :)
