I won't lie. This week was a rough one, even with all the help I got from my parents. One night I didn't get in bed until 3am. And neither did my 5yr old, which resulted in her sleeping in the next day until 2pm. I was advised from several people to wake her up...but um. No. Mostly because life is generally easier when one child is asleep I've come to find out, but also because the rule is never wake a sleeping child (unless you have to be somewhere or the house is on fire). So she slept until after lunch time and then I sent her to my parents house to spend the night. Mwhahaha - my best evil laugh.
Another night Declan decided to practice his best evil cry. For 2hrs straight. I'd almost come to the conclusion that he's just not that fond of me until 2 things happened this past week. First on Tuesday, during his doctor appointment to check his rash (more on that in a bit). For some insane reason, they thought they needed to check his temperature rectally. Even though they have every thermometer under the sun and even though that whole area was the reason why we were there. So my poor boy screamed in pain and continued to scream until the nurse handed him back to me. And then once he realized how had him, his cries died away and he spent the remainder of the appointment just staring at me. Cue heart melting. And then tonight!! At exactly 4 weeks old Declan smiled at me for the first time. It was just small quick crooked smiles where only one side actually went up, but still. Totally a smile. I would know. It was awesome and I loved it. So maybe he does like me just a little.
I won't get into all the ins and outs of our life/schedule since I plan on doing that during his 1 month old post later this week
I'll also leave you with this. As C would say "he's super, super cute!".
