The Evening and into the Morning

Ok, three events! From the evening, the night, and the morning. And one bonus thing at the end. Lol! In case you were looking for a previewed layout of todays blog. 🙈 Guys, one day I’ll sound more normal but that day is not today. My brain is still mushy.

So event one. Yesterday evening. This is probably the most exciting one. We finally washed Waverly’s hair, and she has CURLS!!! 😍 I can’t guarantee that they’ll stay, and one sleep later, the sides and back were already flattened, but I’m super hopeful that I FINALLY got my curly kid!!

This morning, the mohawk was still in tact! Eek!

She is SO stinking pretty!!! I’m SO excited for her hair!

Also a win with bath time – she didn’t poop in our sink! Win!!

Yes, we washed her in our en suite sink. We CAN! She’s LITTLE!

Thing number two! Waverly had this amazing night last night! She drank some milk around 9pm, woke up shortly before 2am for another drink, and only lulled me awake around 6:30am! AMAZING, right?? Except wrong. I texted Brady and told him I was SO thrilled, and that Wavy had such an amazing night. He responded with “Haha. She did not.” He went on to tell me that, after Wavy’s 2am feed, she was in and out, grunting and fussing like a maniac until 3:30! I heard NONE of it! Seriously, NONE! Poor Brady dozed in and out, and rocked her and burped her until she finally gave in to sleep. I had been suspicious that she’s had some awake time in the night, thanks to her 3-4 hour “pre-bedtime” nap. Might have to rearrange that tonight, Wavy.

Thing three is that my aunt came over for a chunk of the morning. I’m not sure if she had met any of our kids before today, but she did it right! She came with Tim Bits for the bigs and a present for the baby. The kids were totally comfortable pretty much right away, giving her hugs, chatting, etc. Solly hid behind my bum for a little while but it didn’t take long before he was comfortable, too. She held Wavy through most of her visit, and we chatted and caught up after years of not seeing each other. My mom came as well, and lovingly occupied the bigger kids through pretty much the entire visit. There was so much hotting and hollering and belly laughing as they ran around the house. SO cute to listen to, as always. Was a little sad to see them go when the time came :/ But they had other commitments today, and it was time for me to feed the kids and nap the littles so they’d have enough energy forrrrrrr…

The bonus thing! Which is shopping for the final baby party groceries!! All the fresh stuff is coming home TODAY! Brady is working a pretty full day at work so if I want a partner in crime for this shop, it’ll have to be one that comes after supper. I told him I’m more than willing to go on my own with the kids, but I think he secretly wants to be part of it 😉 There has been SO much lead up to her party, and besides a bit of basic tidying and cleaning, this is kind of the last thing! So we’ll do that tonight!! YES! Feels good to be getting all of this stuff done! Don’t forget to tell me if you’re coming to Wavy’s party! But if you don’t RSVP, you can obviously still come 😉 You just can’t eat anything. Nope, that was a lie. Feeling SUPER sarcastic right now. Oy! Just come 🙂 Come ALL! I can’t wait!!!
