Xavier has been sleeping in our bed for the past month. We let him at first, thinking it was nightmares or something. Now it is clear that it is just habit. We are trying to break this habit. Last night (Thursday, 10/11) was the first night using the cry it out method. We let him cry for about 10-15 minutes and then go and hug and comfort him and repeat the process until he goes to sleep. It took him an hour and a half to fall asleep. He woke up about an hour later. This time it was a little easier to get him to sleep. He went back to sleep about 15-20 minutes later. He woke up one more time around 2 (about 3 hours later). This time it took him an hour and half again. We did find out that he goes to sleep faster for Drake than he does with me. When I go into his room all he wants is for me to hold him and rock him. When I tried to leave he just cried. If I told him anything, he just cried more. When Drake went in there, he actually stayed laying down and went to sleep (after a few attempts at getting out of bed). He didn't wake up again until 7:15 this morning. Hopefully he does better tonight. We are trying a stamp chart to see if that helps (we couldn't find stickers). We also rearranged his room and bought him a lightning Mcqueen nightlight and a plush Thomas the train. Hopefully these help!
Drake is brewing some pumpkin spice beer. He has already put it into the second fermenting stage (or whatever the correct lingo is). He is super excited for it to be done. Two of his favorite things are pumpkin and beer, so we all see why he is so excited.
School is keeping me very busy! Somehow I manage to find time to spend with my husband and son, as well as keep the house clean and my boys fed. I have felt like super mom these past few weeks. It seems like I always have something to do, whether it is cooking dinner/washing dishes, doing laundry, cleaning house, doing homework, studying for a test, or cuddling with my two favorites. I feel tired by the end of the day!
Isobel is still moving like crazy! She really like to stretch out pushing my belly in opposite directions. It is very uncomfortable!! I am 33 weeks and 1 day today. Only 7 weeks to go! It is so crazy, I just can't believe it! I am very ready to see my baby girl!
This next week we will be preparing for Xavier's birthday party next Saturday. I still can't believe he is already 2! We will also check on Isobel on Tuesday :)
