Travis = my hero

Emily came into our room this morning at 6:15, wanting to snuggle with me in bed.  She did it yesterday at 6:37, after Travis's alarm had gone off, so I couldn't convince her it was still nighttime and she should go back to bed.  But this morning, Travis whisked her away and put her back in bed - and she slept until 7:40!!  Yay!!!!  She's rested and happy today, unlike yesterday where she was grouchy.  It was too bad, too, because her cousin came to play with her and she wasn't her normal sparkling self.  But I've got her all to myself today, so I'll take it!  Audrey is also having a wonderful day, so I'm really enjoying it while it lasts.  In a few minutes, we're going to Audrey's 2-month checkup, and both she and Emily will get shots.  The rest of the day doesn't look so good, so I'm sure enjoying my sunshiney girls now!

Yesterday I went to a baby shower for a co-worker, and my sister watched my girls so I could go without them.  It was SO nice!  I wasn't really sure what to do with all my brainpower available, and I think I yakked on a bit too much and should've let other people say more, but I had a great time.  Yakity yakity yak.  It was my first time away from Audrey for any length of time, and I fed her right before I left and right after I got back.  She tried to take a bottle instead of nursing when I got home, but it was a total failure.  Guess I've got something else to worry about now!  I think I've got my work schedule figured out so it's most beneficial for me, Audrey, Emily, Amanda, and my co-workers.  It took some creativity, but I did figure it out.  It's amazing how hard it is to think with BabyBrain. 

Travis and I had the most boring fight yesterday.  He was tired of me complaining about things, and I was too tired to see the bright side of things.  But, a boring fight is the best way to air things out, and Audrey let me get lots of sleep.  Years from now, when people ask us what the key is to a long marriage, I will say, "Boring fights."  No drama in this house -- at least from anybody who's more than 3 years old!
