We are having such a nice time visiting family this weekend, meeting the new baby.
Charlie is teeny tiny compared to Dekker. He makes little growly sounds, and sleeps a lot. We celebrate things like making eye contact with him. He is completely precious. Takes me back.
Last night, Brady, Dekker and I shared a room with Caity and Stefan. Since having Dekker, we haven’t shared a sleeping space with others. I was a little nervous, wondering how Dekker would do overnight. In past hotel experience, he’s woken up in the night, and it takes a diaper change and a bottle to put him back down. Not the end of the world, I know, but out of character. Plus, with his current horrendous diaper rash, I thought the chance of him waking in the night was greatly increased.
We had the hilarious idea to sleep him in the bathroom. Brady had to close the door in order to assemble the playpen, and could barely get out. But it worked! Dekker cried for a few minutes falling asleep and didn’t make a peep for the rest of the night. We had to wake him at 8:30 in order to meet family for breakfast in good time. He’s so squishy and funny when he’s just freshly awake.
It was a total success, and I anticipate a similar night tonight. Mmmmm. Good sleeps away from home. YES!
