Is it really only 9:00pm?!

How do I feel so wiped out so early?? We had such a wonderful, restful night last night, yet I am completely whooped. Once Laela is done eating here, I’m gonna need my bath to wind down, and then sleep time. Too bad I already had my booze of the day.

Laela ate last night at 11:00pm, 4:30am, and then at 8:30am. We lay in bed and took our time feeding her before getting up. We got Dekker up and met Bradys mom upstairs for croissants and coffee. Once we were done, Dekker was itching to go downstairs, so we all piled downstairs and took a load off. Dekker played while we all visited and held Laela and played on our phones. It was such a relaxed day, all around. Its really not fair for me to be tired. But its the truth.

We had lunch of leftover pizza upstairs before Dekker went down for a nap. I think we were all feeling a bit groggy so we sat in the living room and visited a bit while I crocheted. It was nice to catch up, since we haven’t seen Bradys mom in quite some time, and we all lead crazy lives and rarely catch up on the phone.

Dekker slept over three hours this afternoon, which was incredible! I made a chicken spaghetti casserole for supper and I have to say that it was pretty much delicious. Its definitely one of my staple meals, because its easy and yummy, which is perfect for this time of my life! Any meal that comes together fast is a meal for my house! We ate the spaghetti and garden carrots that Elvira brought with her, and very soon after, Dekker was asking to go downstairs again. So we went with it until it was his bedtime. He was such a sweetheart going to bed tonight. He gave lots of kisses and waved goodbye. After a couple “Ninights” from him, Brady carried him off and put him down. He then proceeded to talk the entire time the three of us ate pumpkin pie and drank our drinks. Weirdo.

We all petered out pretty early (poor Peter who must have always left things early…) so we went out separate ways around 9:00am. We still have a good few days of visiting ahead of us so I think its nice that we’re all comfortable to separate earlier in the night. My bath is running and I am nice and full from pumpkin pie and apricot brandy/sprite. Time for some mindless Netflix before sleeping, and then church tomorrow.

Is it wrong that I’m anticipating church more when I have a new baby to show off?
